Wheat Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, cool, and lit up with citrus, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Jicama is naturally starchy and satisfying with a texture somewhere between a water chestnut and a firm apple — it holds up beautifully to bold seasoning without turning soggy. A quick toss in fresh lime juice and zest, sea salt, turmeric, and a hint of ginger gives every stick a bright, tangy coating with just enough warmth underneath. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with zero cooking required, which makes it as easy as snacking gets. For anyone navigating grain-free eating, this is a genuinely exciting alternative to crackers or chip-based snacks — no flour, no fillers, just clean whole ingredients. The optional cilantro adds a fresh herbal finish that pulls the flavors together beautifully. Serve it as an appetizer, a side, or an afternoon snack and watch it vanish from the bowl.

- 1 medium jicama (about 1.5 lb), peeled

- 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.
