POHIAN KHOUW/Demand Media
For a twist on tortilla chips, fry up thin slices of jicama. You can also cut the jicama into shoestrings or batonets and fry them to replicate french fries. Jicama is relatively low in carbohydrates -- just 11 grams per cup of raw slices -- making these chips or fries a possible option for people on low-carb diets. If you prefer a non-fried chip variation, coat slices of jicama in non-stick cooking spray and season them; then bake in a 400-degree F oven until crisp -- about 30 minutes. Roasting and Baking

Jicama can be baked just like a potato. Simply pierce the whole, washed jicama with a fork and bake it at about 375 degrees until softened, approximately 45 minutes. Serve it, sliced open, with butter, sour cream and chives. Unlike a baked potato, though, its skin is fibrous and not especially palatable. Roast cubes of peeled jicama with a drizzle of olive oil and herbs in a 400-degree F oven.
