If you’ve been looking for a low carb potato replacement, this crispy jicama fries recipe is for you! Potatoes are one of the most popular foods people want to replace when they start a low carb diet. That’s one of the reasons I was so excited to make these jicama fries in the air fryer . I couldn’t believe how crispy they turned out — perfect for a healthy appetizer , side dish , or snack !

These keto jicama fries make the perfect substitute for potato fries. (You might also want to try my other keto french fries recipe , with a surprising ingredient.)

Why You Need My Jicama Fries Recipe

• Potato flavor with much fewer carbs
• Crisp exterior and tender inside
• Just 4 simple ingredients (plus salt & pepper)
• 7.1 grams net carbohydrates per serving
• Naturally low carb, keto, paleo, whole30, gluten-free, and vegan
• Healthier alternative to potatoes

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here I explain the best ingredients for my air fried jicama recipe, what each one does, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Jicama – Look for jicama that feels firm when you give it a light squeeze. A few small blemishes on the brown skin are fine, but skip any jicama with large blemishes.
• Olive oil – Or avocado oil.
• Spices – Garlic powder , cumin , sea salt , & black pepper . Paprika or onion powder would also make nice additions that complement these seasonings.

Seasoning Variations

You can use similar seasonings for jicama fries that you would for potatoes. But, you need more salt and it’s not recommended to skip seasonings, due to the natural sweet taste of jicama. If you don’t like the spices above, try lemon pepper seasoning , ranch seasoning , or Cajun seasoning .

How To Prepare Jicama Fries

1. Cut. Peel the jicama first, then slice into jicama fries (french-fry-shaped sticks) with a sharp knife. A good size is 3 to 4 inches long and about 1/3 to 1/2 inch thick.
2. Boil. Place the fries into boiling water and boil until very soft, like a cooked potato. The color and texture will change.
3. Dry. Once the jicama fries are soft, drain the water and pat dry with a paper towel. Now you can air fry or bake them to get them browned and crispy!

How To Make Jicama Fries In The Air Fryer

I have step-by-step photos here to help you visualize the recipe. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Season. In a large bowl, drizzle jicama with olive oil and season with garlic powder, cumin, and sea salt until evenly coated. (If using any of the seasoning variations above, you can add them here.)
2. Air fry. Place jicama fries in the air fryer basket in a single layer, spread out so they aren’t touching each other. (You will need to cook them in batches.) Air fry until golden.

• What is Jicama? Jicama is a root veggie from Mexico, sometimes called a Mexican yam bean or potato. It’s similar to a potato but sweeter—kind of like a mix of potato, water chestnut, and apple—plus it has way fewer carbs! The skin isn’t edible, but it’s great for fries, jicama tortillas , and more. I’ve got plenty of low-carb jicama recipes in my Easy Keto Carboholics’ Cookbook !
• What Are Jicama Fries? Jicama fries are simply low carb French fries made with jicama instead of potatoes.
• Can You Make Bake them? Yes, after the boiling step, you can bake low carb jicama fries in the oven for about 30-40 minutes at 425 degrees F.
• Do they taste like potatoes? Jicama fries can taste a lot like regular fries if you make them right, but there are a couple of things to know. Since jicama stays too firm when baked or air fried raw, it’s best to boil it first for a softer, more potato-like texture—then you can crisp it up in the oven or air fryer. It also has a slightly sweet flavor, so don’t skimp on the salt and seasonings to balance it out!

Serving Ideas

Serve these air fried jicama fries with both a sauce and a main dish for a healthy low carb dinner :

• Sauces – Dip your fries into sugar-free ketchup , garlic aioli , spicy mayo , or ranch for delicious flavor.
• Burgers – Serve the fries with my keto turkey burgers , juicy burgers , or keto sloppy joes .
• Steak – For a healthy steak and frites, serve with a sirloin steak , New York strip steak , or air fryer filet mignon .
• Chicken – Chicken and jicama fries are a great and healthy combination. Try air fryer chicken breast or air fryer chicken legs for a full meal cooked in your air fryer! If you prefer to cook your chicken at the same time as the fries using a different method, make chicken leg quarters in the oven, cilantro lime chicken on the stovetop, or keto fried chicken .

Serving Variation: Chili Cheese Fries

To make keto chili cheese fries, you’ll just need to add some chili topping, cheese, and green onions to your jicama fries:

1. Make keto chili . You can follow the same recipe at the link, but drain it a bit at the end if there’s a lot of liquid.
2. Make jicama fries. Follow the instructions on the recipe card below to cook the fries.
3. Combine. Place the fries in a baking dish that will fit into your air fryer (or your oven). Top with chili and shredded cheddar cheese.
4. Air fry. Cook in the air fryer (or the oven) for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Breakfast

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Swaps For Cooking & Baking

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.
