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.
