Cheesy Baked Jicama Recipes

CHEESY BAKED JICAMA

Steps:

• 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Peel Jicama using a very sharp knife. BE CAREFUL. IT IS A VERY HARD VEGETABLE. THERE IS AN OUTER BROWN LAYER AS WELL AS A FIBEROUS INNER LAYER, BE SURE TO PEEL AWAY BOTH. Then cut into cubes.Add to a large pot. Wash and cover with water, adding in salt as you would if you were boiling potatoes. I had to boil about an hour and they do not get soft like potatoes.
• 2. Drain in colander, then add to a food processor, also add in cream cheese, stick of butter, garlic cloves, & red onion cut into large chunks.. Process until mixture is creamy and smooth.
• 3. Prepare a casserole dish with cooking spray, and add creamed Jicama mixture. Smoothing out top, then top with both cheeses.
• 4. Bake in preheated 350 degree F. oven for about 30 to 35 minutes until hot and bubbly. Serve and enjoy. A great alternative to Mashed Potatoes for Low carb eaters.
