Preheat oven 425°F.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
While water is coming to a boil, peel jicama and cut into ¼ inch matchsticks. Add jicama to boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, until jicama is slightly less crunchy. Drain in a colander.
Transfer jicama pieces to a large bowl. Toss with olive oil and spices.

Notes
Nutrition facts are for ¼ of the fries with no dip.
Jicama is slightly firmer than potatoes, even when cooked, so don't be surprised if their texture isn't quite as soft.
Add grated Parmesan or fresh parsley to the seasoning mix for a little extra flavor.
Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 5 days. Reheat in the oven, skillet, microwave, or air fryer.
Freezer Directions: Prepare jicama fries, but don't bake. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet, and place in freezer for 1 to 2 hours. Transfer to a freezer bag and freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to use, bake from frozen in the oven (increase cook time by about 5-10 minutes), convection oven (same instructions as traditional oven, but watch closely at the end), or air fryer (370°F for 8 minutes, check and toss gently. Heat for 3-8 more minutes, if necessary depending on doneness).
