The fruit and veggie box strikes again! Again I get a new root veggie that I have not used before but have seen many times. So what is jicama?
I automatically inspect new foods the same way. I cut it open, smell it, taste it, feel it. So, jicama looks like a big, brown turnip and it smells and tastes almost like an apple.
To the cooking!
What you will need
- 1 jicama
- 1 1/2 tsp of cinnamon (or you can use some apple pie spice: https://misscherise.home.blog/2019/06/23/apple-pie-spice/ )
- 1 tsp of brown sugar
- 3 tsp of vegan butter
How do you cook this thing?
- Cut the skin off of your jicama. I tried to use a potato peeler but it took forever and it was awful. I gave up half way through.
- Cut your jicama into smallish cubes
- Melt your butter in a cast iron pan
- Add in the jicama
- Sprinkle in the cinnamon and brown sugar
- Sautée the jicama until it gets a little softer. (It will not get fully soft, just slightly less firm)
- Eat!
