VEGETABLE SIDE DISH: JICAMA HASHBROWNS(click here to print)

                   


JICAMA HASHBROWNS

If you're watching your carbohydrate intake but are craving hash browns, look no further than this tasty recipe!  Jicama fries up just like a potato does, but doesn't have the carbs that will surely send your blood sugar skyrocketing.  I serve these with some eggs, sunny side up, and some turkey bacon for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

2 cups of jicama, peeled and grated
1/2 onion, chopped
1 Tbs. oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat.  Add the onion and cook until translucent.  Add the jicama, salt and pepper and cook until brown.  Top with your favorite egg dish and breakfast is served!
Tip: to add a little more zip to this dish, add your favorite toppings and spices before you fry.  Like sweet paprika, garlic, green pepper slices, cilantro, etc.
