Keto "Potato Chips" - Dehydrated, Crispy, Delicious Jicama Chips
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
- In my on-going quest to find low-carb substitutes for potatoes, I have dialed in a recipe for jicama chips that I'm pretty proud of. These are remarkably close to the crispy texture of a potato chip with a fraction of the carbs. In this video, I make them as a salt and vinegar chip, but you can season them however you like.

There are a few things I discovered while making this recipe:
1. Cut your slices VERY thin and use a mandoline to do this. If they are not thin enough, they will either be leathery or hard -- but not crispy.
2. Slice the jicama perpendicular to the root end. I don't know why this is, but the chips turn out crispier this way.
3. The "brining" step helps the chips become crispy in the dehydrator. I'm assuming it has to do with the salt drawing out moisture.
4. A temp setting of 110F - 115F is important. I found that higher temperatures just didn't crisp up properly.
Got it! 👍It's time to dust off my mandolin and use our dehydrator for something else besides beef & pork jerky. Loved the idea of the popcorn flavor. My husband and 2 sons use it on pork rinds. Quite a game changer. Love your videos!!!
I was so excited initially to see the chip episode I’ve been anticipating since your original potato alternative video. Alas without making these myself just from the process it seems that this would be very much a Vinegar & Salt as opposed to traditional or “regular“ potato chip which is quite disappointing. Also I’m not entirely sure but I’m fairly confident that the dehydrator I already own does not go as low as 110° and that it’s not a controllable temperature setting at all… without getting out the manual I can’t be 100% certain but I believe the static temperature default is 165° maybe? Bummer.
@Maiden Minnesota our flavored pork rinds down here contain sugar. I'd rather flavor them on my own.
Looks good
I ordered the mandolin slicer and gloves so i dont lose my knuckles
Love your channel
I want to join your program,just need to decide which level im comfortable at
I'm always impressed by how much effort you invest in bringing us these videos, Steve. Thank you!
Sometimes, I get a little obsessed about getting a recipe to work. 😲
Obsess away Steve! And thanks for sharing!
Just did this recipe in my oven on its lowest setting. About 5 hours. Came out great!
Fantastic. The recipe takes some time and work, but I think it’s worth it. 🙂
Did you use any oil or just put thin slices in dry?
Hint on desiccant packs... you can throw them in the corner of the dehydrator next time it’s running to “recharge” them. Reuse them multiple times
Thanks for all your hard work!
Great tip. I believe you can also microwave them briefly to "recharge" them.
Thanks 👍
I just tried air frying these and they were marvelous! Thanks for the tip on vinegar powder. New Kitchen staple!!!
Do these Jicama chips taste like Potato Chips? If not, what's the difference in taste, texture, etc?
@@manofsan Jicama has a slightly sweet taste compared to Potato chips, to my taste buds. But they really take on herbs and spices well! I use smoked paprika, cumin, and Tajin (which is a lime spicy salt combo). They don't get as light and airy as a potato chip, so a little more dense, but they still give good crunch. If you have ever had Terra chips, or thin plantain chips, they are kind of similar in texture to those. ☺
@@nrgltwrkr2225 - thanks! Can you make hashbrowns or mashed potatoes out of them?
@@manofsan Here is my best no- potato Hashbrowns recipe:
100g grated cauliflower
100g grated radishes
1 egg
1/4 cup grated parmesan
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
Grate cauliflower and radishes. Microwave for 3 minutes, then squeeze out moisture using a cheesecloth or towel.
Mix drained veggies with egg, parmesan, salt and pepper.
Form into patties and pan fry for 5 minutes per side in oil until crispy. Use a non-stick skillet and generous oil to get them crispy
Let them cool 5 minutes after cooking to set
Can add bacon, onions or other mix-ins. Here is my favorite Mashed No-Tatoes:
6 egg whites
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup cream cheese
2 tbsp beef gelatin powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
Toast the beef gelatin powder lightly in a dry skillet until fragrant.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites and toasted gelatin until fully dissolved and frothy.
Microwave the egg white mixture for 2 minutes, whisk vigorously, then microwave for 1 more minute.
Add in the parmesan, cheddar, cream cheese, salt, garlic powder and white pepper. Use a hand mixer to whip everything together until thick, fluffy and smooth
In Texas, we have a store called HEB that sells thin sliced jicama that I've used raw as a substitute for a tortilla. Obviously, it's wet-ish, but it has such a fresh taste that brightens up a "taco."
Since I bought an air fryer, I've been making beet and rutabaga fries often. Cut into fry shapes, brush with oil, and cook at 250 until they are cooked, then turn the temp up to 400 for 10 minutes.
You can use lard to deep fry! It’s tasty and keto friendly too! And very cheap 👍🏻
The only way I like to do it 👍🏻
Sounds fantastic! Will definitely give a try! Thanks for all your experimenting to 'get it right'! You're the best!
I just love your videos! Love them! So thorough and useful and keto life-expanding. I’m just very grateful for you and your channel. 💖
Oh my god, you are my hero. I have the same dehydrator that has been sitting in my cupboard for a couple of years. Now I have something to use it for , I'm so happy and can't wait to try this. Thank you for all your time that you spend creating all these amazing recipes.
I know you've been trying to hone in on the perfect recipe for these. Congrats on finding it and as always thank you for sharing it after all the experimentation of creating the best version..... just as a side note, I will be working on that project Sunday
Can't wait to try this one!!! Thanks Steve.
I love how down to earth you are… great idea with the jicama and dehydrator
Hoping you’ll be coming out with a cookbook soon. It’d be nice to support you and have all your great recipes handy.
I just started dehydrating and storing. I’m always looking for foods that are keto friendly. Thank you so much for all the work you put into all your videos. I hope you work on a cookbook because I’ll definitely get it.
Thank you so much for all your hard work! I hate to experiment ......you have done it all for me! Need to get out my dehydrator...love your seasoning for these chips! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I like to experiment when it works out the first or second time. This one had me right on the edge of giving up around experiment number ten. I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
Sounds like a perfect recipe to satisfy that crunch craving common to all keto diet followers. Thanks for developing it; can't wait to try it.
It's a bit of work, but nice for the occasional treat.
Chips were always my fav before going keto......appreciate all the hard work you put into your recipes....will definitely have to try this!
Hope you enjoy
My goodness but you make it look so easy with your honed skills. I floundered a bit with the mandolin (user error) however they turned out very nice (even if they don't look quite like yours). I really liked this recipe.
This is awesome! I've never tried jicama but this looks amazing!
Your videos are just fantastic. Thank you!!!!
I have that same dehydrator and love it. Can't wait to make these!
I was reluctant to purchase it based on the price, but I'm getting a ton of use out of it. I'm sure as gardening season progresses, I'll be dehydrating lots of veggies and herbs.
Thank you very much, I am a potato chip junkie! This recipe allows me to stay on track! Thanks for all The experimenting you do to offer us substitutes to foods we crave! Thanks for sharing your love of food with us. 💜🙏🏻💜
I tried it and my jicama shrunk down to nothing. 9 hrs later, over 95% shinkage..
I had exactly the same problem and they were totally soft 😒 and the taste it’s just like sugar 🤢 yuck
Wow. Thanks for your efforts!
We finally got some jicama and made this recipe. Since we didn't have a newer fancy dehydrator, we were forced to use our old K-Tel dehydrator (no fan or temp control) so it took more like 15 hours but we were impressed with the taste, sadly the portions are small compared to what most people are used to when they think of chips. This gave us another snack for good variety to have ready to eat. Thanks for what you do.
They definitely shrink up vs what you start out with.
I’m a new subscriber to your channel and am trying keto for the 1st time because I have never had a weight issue until my 50’s and nothing else is working…you put so much trial and effort into your recipes and channel, I am impressed and look forward to all of your content!
Thank you and glad to have you here.
Oh my goodness! Chips! I need a bigger dehydrator! You're the man!
Jicama also makes a great tortilla if you happen to have a meat slicer (I bought a cheap one off Amazon for $45). I would slice them thin and then lightly toast them in a pan to soften them up so they were pliable. Jicama also makes a good Korean radish substitute for Radish kimchi, if you don't have it around. When I was living in Mexico I had zero Korean radish but heaps of jicama. :) Drizzled with a little lime juice, it also can mimic apple in some summery salad dishes.
I never thought to use my meat slicer on jicama. Cool idea!
Canada = chips as in fish and chips but then we also have chips like potato chips and french fries thanks to our neighbors to the south. Yes, we add a u in neighbour :)
As a Brit, fish and chips is a MUST for me. It's hard on keto, but I've just posted my swede chips recipe above. For a batter to coat the fish, use whey protein isolate instead of flour, a teaspoon of baking powder or soda and mix with sparkling water or diet lemonade to the consistency you like. Then fry in a couple of inches of lard/tallow in a deep pan. It's the nearest you'll get to British fish and chips on keto. Hope you try it.
Steve when you are ready to start selling these chips, I'm in!! I am a potato chip junky and would be worth the cost of shipping!
My favorite chip for the past 45 years....salt & vinegar 😍♥️. BTW, that’s a LOT of work for some chips 🙈🤣
Lots of things are lots of work. 😉
@@SeriousKeto yep. Regular chips are just as much work 😊
@@idyllicacrylicsjulieb4328 I would argue that regular chips are more work, in that you have to be actively working the fry oil. For this, the work is essentially over once you've laid the slices on the dehydrator trays.
Salt & vinegar sounds awesome
I wonder how jalapenos jima chips would taste?
I have GOT to try this method for cooking jicama. I’ve tried the air fried, the oven method, and they’re so-so but I’m looking for a more crispy version. My boys aren’t thrilled with my methods thus far and they need their veggies so I’ll try this! Thank you so much Steve! 🎉😊
Just do you know, it’s a fair bit of work for just a little payoff.
...hamina hamina hamina.....I'm crazy for salt & vinegar chips! I'm definitely making theses! Thank you so much!
My sister gave me a dehydrator for Christmas a year or two ago so I am going to have to give this a try! I am thinking I’ll use some Old Bay seasoning on mine! Thanks Steve!
Something I repeat from time to time - this recipe is more of a "can" it be done, rather than a "should" it be done. It's a fair bit of work for a little payoff. 😉
Yes and Thank you Steve so much 😉
Keep your dehydrator on the Dining Room table, a side buffet or a spare desk! Also thank you for the tip on the little desiccate pouch to keep things crispy. Genius!
I have a little table for it in my basement now.
Oh boy this looks good! I love my s&v chips.
Nice tip about the packets, thank you.
I find I'm putting them in a lot of things that I want to keep dry and crisp (my candied nuts, my pork rind "bread crumbs", etc.).
Jicama chips and a double shot of Aerosmith coming up right after this short commercial break. What a voice!
Thank you.
As Kevin would say from "The Office",.... "that was AWESOME".... I'm buying everything as we speak! Nicely done!
I haven't heard of jicama here in Canada...but it looks like daikon (lo bok) radish which I use to make a gratin cause they taste ans feel like potatoes when cooked...so I'm going to try using that for these chips...plus they Daikin are already in that circular potato shape. Thanks for all your hard work , love your videos.
Great video. Will try this.
It’s a fair bit of work, but it’s the closest I’ve come to potato chips.
I have a square Chefman air fryer that I ordered extra trays so I can a try in each slot. I for and use the dehydrating function all the time or jerky, dog treats and to crisp up crackers. The chips have alluded me until now. I look forward to trying your method!
Nice crunch!
I don't have a dehydrator, but I sure do appreciate the lesson on how to peal the jicama!
What is a jicama?
Thanks for this, will try it soon!
This recipe falls more into the category of "can it be done" rather than "should it be done" - unless you don't mind the work that goes into it. 😉
Thank you so much for this; hope to do it soon. And no nuts! Yea!
I have never tried Jicama before, actually I don't even know where to find it but I love chips so now I have a mission to seek these out and try this recipe and do my own experiments with this new to me food item. Thanks for sharing your potato chip replacement, you have made my day. -Zack
They are typically found in the produce department of your grocery store near the root vegetables (parsnips, turnips, etc.).
Serious Keto Thanks
You can find them at any Mexican grocery store too
Thank you. I miss my chips. Love your videos so much information
These are some work. It's right on the edge of what I call "Can it be done?" rather than "Should it be done?".
LOVE this! Actual cooking (what a foodie you are!), links, new ideas, full equipment explanation, taste options including WHY, metric and stupid (ooops, non-metric), friendly (I would so love to meet and discuss food!!). This may be my favorite of yours so far ---- and I'm not a chip eater, particularly. Well done!! Seriously!!
Glad you liked it!! I try to balance out my videos between quick & easy and more complicated. I wouldn't call this complicated, but it is a bit more involved than making a chaffle. 🙂
@@SeriousKeto Balance is good. But I'm a detail, know the science and reasons, learn new ingredients, weigh into 1 bowl-type person. This met my requirements (haha) as do many of yours. Just had to comment and give you kudos.
I'm the same way when I'm cooking not on video. There are a number of ingredients, tools, and techniques I'm excited to introduce to the SeriousKeto community, but I feel that I need to ease them in...
@@SeriousKeto agreed. And I'm not saying I don't like those. Yes, fangirl here. Just that I loved this one. Have a great day!
Thanks a lot I will try this recipe
I've been looking forward to this recipe, and I have the same dehydrator 😊
Those sound lovely.
Wow, you have an AMAZING voice.
Thank you. I use it in all of my videos. 😉
@@SeriousKeto lol!
You sir are a GENIUS!!
Thank you. It's really more persistence than genius, but I'll accept the compliment. 😉
That was rad.
Gonna order D., all of the above.😉👍
THANKS, STEEEVE!
💃🏻💞
I was gonna make a video about this, but you covered everything I would have said (and likely better than I). You are clear, concise, friendly and informative. You also don't YELL in an open space and have that crappy echo i hate listening to. Your voice and volume is calming yet engaging. Your editing is perfect, too. Not too long, not too short. You don't say "um" constantly or.... ever. This video encompasses pretty much my entire checklist of "watchable". So of course, I subscribed. Thank you. Oh, and I'm gonna try your recipe. YUM!!
Thank you for the kind words. 😊
I just made a cowboy casserole out of jicama. I pressure cook my slices of potato size slices of jicama. Then I salt them. Let them set in fridge until I needed them. I browned my hamburger, diced onion, seasonings. Put in casserole dish put meat in casserole cream of soup. Then jicama slices. Thin slices of carrots, Pepper , salt to taste. Stirred well. Put in oven after putting a couple pats of butter on top. Baked 20 min at 350. Exactly like my cowboy casserole with pots. Cheese melted on top if you like.
This was great Steve, but I'd like to have heard more about the flavor of the Jicama chip. Keep up those awesome recipes!
The flavor was like a salt and vinegar potato chip, but a bit sweeter.
Bought the Jicama and will try this Sunday..
YUM!!! You have me wanting to dehydrate jicima. I just purchased a dehydrator and will also try making ham jerky
That is my childhood snack! 😍
But we just eat it as it is but my favorite is dipping it in salt and vinegar. Yum! 😋
I ate a lot of the vinegar/salt soaked slices as I loaded up the dehydrator trays. "Oops, that one broke -- I guess I'll just have to eat it." 😄
That’s dedication, sounds crispy but I wouldn’t have the patience to make! Thanks for sharing!!
Sometimes, I get a little obsessed with proving that something CAN be done (or keto-fied). This seems like a lot of work, but once you taste one and you get that crispy potato chip sensation, I think the payoff is worth it. Thanks for the comment. 🙂👍
@@SeriousKeto I am so glad for your obsession! :D :D
Your videos are some of the highlights of my days.
On one of your kitchen hack videos how about a knife selection care tutorial?
LOVE the Baby Yoda shirt.
I'll add that to my list. My next kitchen hack video (in my opinion) is going to be one that EVERYONE can use. At least, I hope so...
Dessicant packs...brilliant!
I can't wait to do this
It's a lot of work for a little yield. Just so you know...
I've never thought of "supreming" a jicama before. Great idea Steve :)
Yummy! Thanks!
I’m so excited you did salt and vinegar chips! My FAVORITE! Can’t wait to try this.
You rock! Thank you so much!
Just brought a dehydrator , i already have a biltong maker, but wanted a dehydrator to try new recipes. So Thanks for this.
I expect I’ll be doing some more dehydrator recipes in the coming months.
Jicama is very popular here and really delicious. One of the trendy Restaurants in Merida gets very fresh, very young jicama, slices it really thin like you did, and then rolls a filling inside, like a local Fresh Spring Roll. Really good. Here too, we get them fresh from the ground and they do not have that thick tough skin on the outside. Frequently served cut in sticks with carrots cut in sticks as well marinated in a good vinegar at least overnight. Finger food heaven. Thanks for this. I love my Excalibur Dehydrator. Brought it with me. We use it to make Keto Candied Ginger too! Yummy good treat. Thanks again!
I think they work quite nicely as crudites with some dip.
@@SeriousKeto Yes, indeed!
FYI- I found already sliced raw jicama at HEB/Market already sliced very thin- and it said “jicama tortillas” but looks like your photos. Trying this. Thanks so much!
I've been told some Trader Joe's carries jicama "tortillas" as well.
Have a dehydrates, my husband make jerky. Can't wait to try it! Thanks. Still looking for kohlrabi.
Muchas gracias Exselente reseta. 👍🧡👍
A dehydrator tip, you can dry lemon etc to use in ice water. Takes a few min to rehydrate but So darn convenient.
Thanks for the tip. I'm really glad I bought mine as my herb garden is already going crazy with oregano, basil and chives (so far). I got some drying as I type this.
I commented on the makin bacon vid, remarking on how it wasn't so inexpensive when adding in the cost of a smoker. I was being facetious, but don't think that came across. But this time I'm in luck! I have white vinegar. I have salt. I have a mandolin. I have a " don't cut yourself" glove. I even already have a dehydrator! The only thing I don't have is a jícama. When I'm finally able to get out to go to the store, I'll have that too. Wondermous. Thanks, BTW, I've been subscribed with "bells on" for quite some time so I get all of the notifications.
Because I get the question "where do you find jicama?" a lot, I'll tell you that when you go to the store, look by the root veggies (turnips, parsnips, etc.). That seems to be where I always find the jicama.
@@SeriousKeto I live in Colorado and have purchased jicama many times, so I would not ask that question. The only question is when I will be able to get back to ordinary shopping again. Sans mask, etc.! 😷🤪
Great stuff Steve. Must try these crisps 😉 UK.
Just so you know, it's a lot of work for a little payoff. 😉
@@SeriousKeto All good things require effort 😉😉 Nice to have an odd 'keto treat' - like your crackers! Very good 👍
This is the first time I've ever heard of this vegetable. They're not available here in Scotland. We learn something new every day 😀 You put a lot of work, effort and dedication into your recipes and explain everything. You should have your own t.v show.
Thank you. 😊
you do mate. its what we call turnips :)
I grew up eating jicama. This intrigues me.
Wow thank you Steve. No idea how I missed this video. I would love to make these. I really like jicama. However, mu dehydrator is my air fryer. It's one of the egg shaped ones. Definitely not big enough. I am curious about the vinegar powder. It's not something I've seen before but I love vinegar so I'm sure I will like it. 🙂
I found after buying it that it has maltodextrin. I’m not sure what the carb impact is, but I know that for some people, that’s a dealbreaker.
My aunt was a legendary baker locally and she used to melt lard to cook her doughnuts in. It's cheap and has a very high smoke point-
It’s a great fat to cook in/with.
Amazing
Wow, need chips AND beef jerky! We have a dehydrator and I use to make herb spices- like celery powder etc.
Tajin Mexican spice works well as it is a spicy lime flavor that works well with jicama.
Tajin is great. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll use it in my next batch.
Great video. Will definitely give it a try in my cheap dehydrator that I have been making jerky in for years. Also, I seem to recall you saying that you were making all of your ads skipable... the ads at the beginning of this vid were not.
So I played it again and this time they were skipable. Don’t know what’s going on there...
They are all set to skipable. I think if an ad is less than a certain length, TH-cam doesn't allow you to skip it regardless of how I set them.
"I've got a nine-tray excalibur model"....We would expect nothing less.
I laughed so hard when I seen the size of that Jicama!!😂😂😂😂Rofl @ “ that’s a really big pile of Jicama chips” you ain’t kidding!
😄👍Good Stuff, Great Tips
Man, these looks so satisfying. Chips are my downfall in life. I can probably eat the whole batch of these. Too bad I don't have a dehydrator. Someday! Thank you for working so hard to bring such great recipes.
You might be able to do them in an oven on the lowest bake setting (170 F?). I use an oven to make beef jerky and it comes out perfect. For the jerky I use 180 F. The trick is opening the door periodically to let the steam out.
@@larrycanepa worth a try. Thank you!
@@Banannna228 Absolutely! We all have to help each other out with tricks and ideas. =)
I have one of them < used for deer / moose jerky yrs. back >. Have a few of them too hmm. These sounds good. Might have to try these out. Stay safe & take care of you all. Thanks for sharing eh :))
Cold basement is perfect
There's where I keep mine. In fact, I'm using it to make some keto tortilla chips right now (recipe coming soon).
Thanks sir.
I have a very old dehydrator with no temp control. Probably too hot for this but I can sacrifice one jicama to find out.
Hi Steve,
I was wondering if you could show us the dehydrator bit more. Why would I buy it over using the oven to dry the chips.
I would appreciate if you make a special segment of all your kitchen appliances and tools and why we should get any of them. Thus far, I find your tools to be practical and won’t break the bank. Just elaborate more on the appliances.
Thank you.
Noted for a future video.
Wow! I need a dehydrator now lol
Yay😁👍💕. And yummy 😋😋😋
I have experimented a lot with jicama (keto since 1997) I never once thought of the dehydrators. Off to the store for jicama. I'll let you know what I think😀
Hi. Discovered you recently and have been binge watching your videos. Very interesting and great content. Thank you for putting them out.
I believe Trader Joe's has Jicama wraps made from just sliced jicama. Wondering how to proceed after slicing them.
They didn’t have them at my TJ’s so I don’t know.
@@SeriousKeto I heard the Trader Joe's on the West Coast mostly has them (wraps). :( We are in Florida. So they are not here, yet, either.
