June 23, 2010No I have never tried to grill Jicama. I confess I don't grill much but you inspired me to do more of it this summer. :)
June 21, 2010AHA! I had a recipe I wanted to try at one point that was very similar to this. Now I have it permanently, ty for posting it. I love the addition of Jicama. Have you tried grilling jicama slices, it really brings out the sweetness?
