No, jicama really doesn't have much flavor at all cooked this way...It's just a slightly sweet potato substitute. I more often sub various squash or eggplant for the jicama in this recipe now because the jicama has so little flavor for me. Only way I've ever cooked it where it has much flavor, IMO, is my hash brown recipe: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2010/0...ama-hashbrowns/

or my jicama fries recipe: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/jicama-fries/
