Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare for Roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

02

Step

Prep the Potatoes: Slice the peeled sweet potatoes crosswise into ¾-inch-thick rounds.

03

Step

Season and Toss: In a bowl, combine the sweet potato rounds, canola oil, and gochugaru. Toss well to ensure even coating. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

04

Step

Roast to Perfection (15-18 minutes): Roast in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife.

05

Step

Craft the Glaze (15 minutes): While the potatoes roast, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, and orange zest. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the glaze thickens into a luscious syrup.

06

Step

Smash and Broil: Once the potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven. Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler. Lightly smash each potato slice with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly. Broil for about 3 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned and caramelized.

07

Step

Glaze and Garnish: Drizzle the prepared soy-citrus glaze over the smashed sweet potatoes. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of grated ginger to the soy-citrus glaze.
Feel free to experiment with other citrus fruits like lime or grapefruit for a unique twist on the glaze.
If you don't have gochugaru, you can substitute with a pinch of red pepper flakes, adjusting to your spice preference.
The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before using.

    I found that 15 minutes under the broiler was a little too long for my oven. Keep a close eye on them!
