Jicama is an odd root vegetable for me at least. It is a root. looks like a big flat, round potato. I've had it raw with other vegies and dip. Found this recipe for a roasted version that looked interesting. Peel and cut into 1 inch cubes. Toss with bit olive oil, minced garlic, half a chopped onion, rosemary and other herbs. Roast for an hour. The jicama stayed crunchy. Different taste sensation that way. Smelled divine and tasted unusual. Crisp, slightly sweet overlaid with the garlic and herbs. Would try this again.
Could make a nice alternative for potatoes with a whole lot less calories it seems.
