Yeast Free Jicama Sticks with Lime & Sea Salt
Crisp, refreshing, and just a little addictive, these jicama sticks are the kind of snack that disappears fast. Jicama has a satisfying crunch that holds up beautifully to bold flavors, and the combination of fresh lime juice, zest, turmeric, and ginger gives every stick a bright, lightly spiced kick. Because the whole thing comes together in a single bowl with no baking, fermenting, or rising involved, it's a naturally worry-free choice for anyone avoiding yeast in their diet. There's no need to scrutinize labels or swap out tricky ingredients — everything here is straightforward and whole. A quick five-minute rest lets the citrus and spices soak into the surface, so the flavor is anything but one-dimensional. Torn cilantro scattered over the top adds a fresh herbal note that ties it all together, though the sticks are just as good without it. Whether you're serving these as a party snack, a light side, or an afternoon pick-me-up, they're proof that simple ingredients can deliver serious flavor.

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.

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.
