120 grams shredded cheese of choice (1 cup) adjust to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Lightly spray with cooking spray
Slice the jicama into desired size wedges or strips. Place the jicama in a single layer into a 3-quart casserole dish. Pour enough water to fully cover the jicama. Place in preheated oven and precook for 10 minutes until the jicama is fork tender
Remove from the oven. Keep oven preheated to 425 degrees. Drain the jicama. Let cool about 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle without burning hands
Place warm jicama into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle oil over the jicama. Toss to fully coat the jicama with the oil. Gradually sprinkle in the dry seasonings and stir to fully coat the jicama
Place the jicama in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place in preheated oven. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the jicama over. Bake another 10 minutes or until the jicama is softened
Remove from the oven. Sprinkle the cheese and crumbled bacon over the top of the jicama. Place back into the oven and cook 2 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool about 5 minutes. Scoop desired amount of the loaded potato substitute onto serving plates. Serve warm with desired toppings.
