How To Prepare Jicama

Peel the jicama, and slice into julienne strips. Place in a preheated fry pan, that has been sprayed with a little olive oil, to prevent sticking. Fry for about five minutes, and toss in pan several times. Can add diced green onions, garlic, or peppers to the pan also.

Also know as the Mexican Turnip, Jicama can be prepared any number of ways. It can be eaten raw and has a sweet, nutty taste. It can also be cooked by removing the outer skin and cutting into slices or cubes. It can then be baked, steamed or boiled.
