15 Jicama Recipes

After posting a recipe for this Low Carb Chorizo and Jicama skillet last week, I got inundated with reader emails asking me for more jicama recipes. Specifically, more gluten-free and paleo jicama recipes.

I hear you – we have been feeling the same way in our house lately, using jicama in a lot more dishes than ever before and making the transition to cooking with jicama in addition to eating it raw in various ways.

I’ve always liked the crunchy, mild taste (and the price!) and appreciate that jicama can be a tasty low-carb, high-fiber substitution for potatoes and other starches in many recipes.

I reached out to some of my food blogger friends and have gathered 15 jicama recipes – all using jicama in new and interesting ways.
