Fish Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, cool, and bright with citrus, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast once they hit the table. Jicama has a satisfying crunch that holds up beautifully to the punchy lime juice and zest, while a pinch of turmeric and ginger add just enough warmth to keep things interesting. Sea salt ties it all together in the most refreshing way. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required — just some peeling, slicing, and a quick toss. For anyone navigating seafood-free eating, this is the kind of effortless, crowd-pleasing snack that needs absolutely no substitutions or label-checking. Every ingredient is straightforwardly plant-based and clean, so you can serve it with total confidence at gatherings or keep it all to yourself as an afternoon pick-me-up. A scatter of fresh cilantro at the end adds a pop of color and herby brightness that makes it look as good as it tastes.

- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger

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.
