Coconut Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, refreshing, and impossibly easy to pull together, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. The jicama itself is naturally mild and crunchy, and once it gets tossed in fresh lime juice, zest, sea salt, turmeric, and a hint of ginger, it transforms into something genuinely crave-worthy. There's no cooking involved — just some peeling, slicing, and a quick toss in the bowl. The short resting time lets those bright, tangy flavors soak into the surface so every bite is well-seasoned rather than just coated on the outside. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a pop of color and herby freshness that ties everything together beautifully. This is a naturally clean, plant-based snack with zero hidden additives to worry about — just whole, simple ingredients doing all the work.

4 servings
- 1 medium jicama (about 1.5 lb), peeled
- 3 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 2 limes)
- 1 tsp lime zest
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, roughly torn (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the tough brown skin from the jicama, then cut away any remaining fibrous layer just beneath the skin until the flesh is fully white and smooth.
- 2
Cut the jicama into 1/2-inch-thick slabs, then cut each slab into sticks roughly 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide — similar in shape to thick-cut french fries.
