I know this is good because I have enjoyed Jicama this way for several years. When we first moved to New Mexico we visited a Swap Meet in Las Cruces where they sell a "fruit cup" it includes Jicama,watermelon, cantaloupe, pineapple and cucumber all cut in strips and sprinkled with lime and red chile. The only difference is they also add salt to the red chile. I now enjoy apples, pears, most any type of fruit with the lime, red chile and salt sprinkled over them!! Betty Jo Weathersby

My parties always seem to have oodles of cream cheese types of appetizers, so these Jicama Chili Sticks presented a nice alternative. I'm not a talented sprinkler, so I tossed the sticks with lime in a bowl, poured off the lime, and then tossed the sticks with the chili. For people in western Canada, the only place I found jicama was at Save-On Foods.

Wonderful when one wants something in the frige for easy snacks, DH is trying to quit smoking, so I'm keeping all kinds of veggie snacks around for him. Can't keep enough of these in for him. Thanks Bergy, I love them too!!

These are wongerful! They're crisp and delicious! The lime and chili powder go great, this is a new snack for us! We love jicama, and this is a very good way to spice it up.

Tasty tasty tasty!!!! And so easy to make! Gotta work on my presentation a bit as several people thought that they were cold french fries — once they tasted them, they loved em though! thanks

Tasty, healthy, and very typically Mexican.

What a great snack. These are addicting and the taste is not overwhelming. I had never eaten jicama before and wasn't sure what to expect. It was a pleasant surprise. It did take some encouragement to get the guests to eat it though. Everyone said that they liked it. And yes, they do look like raw potatoes. I found that there was too much lime juice and I had to pour some out. This is such an easy snack/appetizer that I will be serving this again.

When I saw the jicama sitting on the market shelf, I thought, what an ugly, odd-looking potato! Then I saw the name, and remembered coming across it here someplace, so I swiped it up. Thanks goodness! Its taste is sweet, crisp and juicy. I can imagine enjoying these on a hot summer day (though must admit I find it very enjoyable now in the middle of winter). While great plain, the lime juice & chili powder really pep it up. Thanks for a fabulously simple idea!

This was such a wonderful and effortless snack. I cut mine into sticks - sort of like fat french fries and carrot sticks. Added a bit of sea salt as well. Thanks Bergy!

These were very easy to make but we did not care for them much. Maybe it is just my anglo tongue, but the raw chili powder taste seemed overwhelming. Sorry.
