I did not have the latest sheet, but I was very excited when I heard that it was added to the list. Made a bunch of jicima chips in my dehydrator last weekend - yummm!!!
I am picking up Jicama this weekend to try out some new recipes!
Baked Jicama Dessert:
2 cups jicama -- very thinly sliced
2 packets Sweetener
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice
WF Caramel Sauce or Davinci Caramel Syrup
Preheat oven to 350.
1. Spray a small (8 or 9") pie pan liberally with cookng spray.
2. Arrange 1/2 of the jicama slices in the bottom of the pie tin.
3. Sprinkle 1 packet Sweetener and 1/4 tsp of Cinnamon and 1/4 tsp Apple Pie Spice, drizzle with Caramel Sauce/Syrup. Repeat the layering.
4. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
5. Uncover and bake an additional 15 minutes.
6. Serve warm with IP ice cream!
Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
1. Cut jicama into 1/4″ thick lengthwise slices, then cut again into 1/4″ sticks to resemble fries. Try to keep them sliced as evenly as possible for even baking.
2. Toss sticks with evoo.
3. Mix together with spices in a ziploc baggie, toss in jicama, seal bag and give it several good shakes to evenly coat the fries.
4. Place onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart so they are not touching each other.
5. Bake for 15mins. Remove from oven, toss/flip fries, return to oven for another 10mins or until baked to a nice golden brown color.
Toss diced tomatoes, jicamas, poblano peppers, red onions, and jalapeno peppers with garlic, lime juice, cilantro, white balsamic vinegar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

I am definitely looking for jicama this week- we are getting tired of salads, and we tried turnip fries last week but they were a little too spicy for me, hoping this might be a good alternative. Thanks for the recipes, stargirl and LizRR!
Combine the jicama, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, green chile peppers, ginger, and carrot in a large bowl. Whisk the water, vinegar, sugar, and salt together in a separate bowl; pour over the vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
ETA: Another very similar recipe I found uses cilantro, and would be nice addition to this recipe.
