Hey,
For this Tasty Tuesday, we’re baking something light, cozy and surprisingly addictive, baked jicama. Jicama is that crunchy, slightly sweet root vegetable that transforms beautifully in the oven. Once it’s sliced into thin fries, seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic, salt and pepper and roasted until golden, it becomes the perfect mid-week snack, warm, savory, satisfying and completely plant-based.
What I love most about baked jicama is how naturally wholesome it feels. It’s low in calories but high in fiber, it stays crisp even when baked without oil and it carries spices in such a gentle, comforting way. It’s the kind of snack you can enjoy without any heaviness, just simple goodness coming out of the oven.
So here’s a little comfort and a little crunch to brighten your Tuesday. I hope this cozy bake brings you the same joy it brings me.
I started out over 10 years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
