I've been seeing these fries all over Pinterest and had to try my hand at making them.
- 1 each jicama, peeled and sliced thinly
- olive oil
- 1 clove minced garlic (the fresher the better)
- sea salt, to taste
- cayenne pepper, to taste
- smoked paprika, to taste

Preheat an air fryer to 375°F. Arrange jicama in basket. Air-fry at 375°F until browned and crisp on the edges, 22 to 25 minutes, pausing to shake basket every 7 or 8 minutes.
