Once you have all the moisture squeezed out of your jicama, fluff it up and spread in an even layer on parchment (this takes a bit of work). Place in oven at 170 degrees for 1.5-hours, re-fluff jicama after every 30 minutes, after 1.5 hours turn off oven and let the jicama cool in the oven. 1 cup of fresh grated jicama with yield approx 1/2 cup dried.
