Jicama “Churros”
June is when our big fair kicks off here in San Diego and I always start craving churros. When I was 14 I worked at the fair in the taffy booth and loved grabbing a churro on my lunch break. Crunchy jicama is delicious paired with cinnamon and maple syrup and makes a healthy alternative to a deep fried churro. Jicama is naturally low in calories and is a great source inulin, a prebiotic fiber that supports gut health!
