Peanut Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, cooling, and just a little zingy, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Fresh lime juice and zest coat every piece with bright citrus flavor, while a pinch of turmeric and ginger add a subtle warmth that keeps things interesting. Sea salt ties it all together in the best possible way. The prep is straightforward — peel, slice, toss, and rest for five minutes while the marinade soaks in — and the result is something that feels way more exciting than it has any right to be. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and tree nuts, so there's no label-checking or substitution stress involved. It's a great option for parties, lunchboxes, or an afternoon snack when you want something refreshing without reaching for a bag of chips. The optional cilantro adds a fresh, herby finish that really pulls the whole bowl together.

4 servings
- 1 medium jicama (about 1.5 lb), peeled

- 1 tsp lime zest
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp ground turmeric
- ⅛ tsp ground ginger

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.

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.
