This jicama snack is fresh and yummy! A perfect refreshing treat on hot summer days. It’s also a great addition to a Mexican themed dinner.
What does Jicama taste like?
On it’s own, jicama is crunchy, fresh and kind of sweet, which makes it perfect for a hot summer day! Or a cold winter day where you have the blinds drawn, the furnace cranked, and you are all pretending you are in Mexico. One of those days… But really, the flavour is very nice and mild, which makes it perfect for adding flavour to because it takes that flavour on.
About this snack.
As mentioned above jicama takes on the flavours that are added to it, so for this snack I’ve added fresh lime juice and the seasoning, Tajin. Tajin seasoning is a blend of lime, mild chili peppers, and sea salt which is perfect with crunchy jicama sticks. And with fresh lime added to the mix, this is a refreshing and delicious snack!
Jicama Snack Recipe Tips:
- JICAMA: You can find jicama in the produce section of your grocery store. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin, it’s very easy!
- TAJIN: You can buy Tajin in most grocery stores, but if you have local Mexican markets you’ll definitely be able to find it there. Tajin is also wonderful on chicken, in salsas, sprinkled on potatoes and it’s also delicious on watermelon, mango and pineapple…so many things!
Jicama Lime Snack Sticks
Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and sliced jicama cut like small-medium carrot sticks
- juice from 3 – 4 key limes key limes are best as they pack more flavour than regular limes, but you can use regular limes too
- Tajin sprinkled on to taste I used about 1 tsp but we like the saltiness
Instructions
- Peel and slice the jicama into sticks.
- Combine all of the ingredients, and let them rest for about 15 minutes. This will allow the flavours to really set in, but you can eat it right away too!
- Enjoy!
This would be perfect with a drink…Margarita anyone? Yes please. On a beach. In the sun. Yum. So are you going to try it? You won’t be sorry you did! Have a delicious day!
This is my kind of snack!! Great idea! I want to try this for sure…and I can’t wait to have a margarita…4 more months haha 🙂
Great idea! Looks super yummy, and easy!
this looks tasty and simple. who doesn’t love that combo? do you think that if i made a big batch at the beginning of the week, that I could snack on them all week? i’m just wondering if they’ll keep in the fridge or if the lime juice will start to break down the jicama
I haven’t been sich a jicama fan in the past but I’ll give it another whirl. I have had that tajin stuff on a mango and it is yummy 🙂

Hi Melissa! I’m not sure if they would last all week, but definitely a few days. I’ve had mine in the fridge in the lime juice for 2 days and they are just fine…the jicama seems pretty hardy, so I don’t think it will breakdown. More likely it will just absorb all the lime juice. For me, it’s a great snack to reach in the fridge and grab instead of a cookie!

I have always wanted to try Jicama. It stares me down at the market. This week I will pick one up!
Ohfor YUM! This looks fantastic. I adore jicama. Had no idea it was a legume. CRAzy.
I love jicama but my middle child is allergic to legumes. =(
