Our friend Cheryl has outdone herself again with this Jicama Hash Brown Chaffle Recipe! Holy moly! We have keto hash browns!! I’m pretty sure I hear the angels singing!
What is a jicama?
Jicama root is a round root vegetable native to Mexico that has a texture similar to a potato. It’s low in calories and high in vital nutrients. Jicama has about 5 net carbs per 100g of Jicama. It’s 9 carbs if you don’t go by the net carbs. Jicama is loaded with fiber, vitamin c, and potassium! It also contains insoluble fiber.
If you are not familiar with jicama, you can slice it thin and eat it raw for a nice crunchy vegetable snack. Lots of people sprinkle salt, lime, and chili on it for extra flavor! What a treat! If you make this recipe but have extra jicama leftover just eat it raw and seasoned!
We precook the jicama in the microwave to get is soft. You can find jicama at your local grocery store or even at Walmart!
