I've at Jicama like this since I was a child. To add some sweetness to the recipe, cut some pears into it! I promise you won't be disappointed!! Continue with the Chile and lime! Healthy, light and fresh.

This is delicious, nutritious (very high in Vit. C), very low calorie, and so easy! Love the crunch. I've used just cayenne pepper before but chili powder is much better. To get the jicama completely covered with lime juice I put it in a container with a sealable top, add the juice, cover and shake. I didn't measure but did use more than 2 T lime juice. Then I put it on a serving plate and sprinkle with the chili powder. Any leftovers stay fresh in the fridge for quick snacks, and to add smaller pieces to a salad for a nice crunch.

I have never worked with jicama before and it showed. I wanted this as a go-to snack in the fridge and it didn't work well for me. I think it still could be a good recipe

Sorry, I don't like giving negative reviews, but just thought I'd share. I love jicama, but this just tasted "tinny." I followed this as written, and just didn't care for the taste. I'll dip my jicama in ranch dressing instead.

Made this for our 3rd Annual Strange and Unique Foods Party and it was well liked as a vegetarian option. Someone told me it kind of tastes like sugar snap peas, and it does

This was my first time buying jicama. I actually had some in Mexico once but didn't know that is what I was eating. I enjoyed this and will make again.

My jicama was on the small side, so I only used one tablepoon of chili powder. Also, before I juiced the limes, I zested them and threw the zest in as well. I thought this tasted a little flat, so I added a sprinkling of garlic powder, some kosher salt and a good grinding of pepper. I probably ended up using more than 2 tablespoons of lime juice, I just squeezed two limes over the jicama. I was quite pleased with the end result and I'm taking these to work to snack on. Thanks so much for the post, BECCAS911!
