Pecan 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 lime juice and zest, while a pinch of turmeric and ginger give the whole thing a subtle warmth that keeps things interesting. The seasoning is completely straightforward — no sauces, no coatings, no processed ingredients to second-guess — so you know exactly what you're eating. That makes this a genuinely stress-free option for anyone navigating tree nut concerns, since every ingredient here is whole and easy to verify. A short rest in the bowl lets the spices and citrus soak into the surface, so the flavor goes beyond just a quick toss. Finish with a scatter of fresh cilantro if you have it on hand, and serve right away while the sticks are still at their crunchiest. It's the kind of effortless, crowd-pleasing snack that feels way more impressive than the prep time deserves.

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.
