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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare for Roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02
StepPrep the Potatoes: Slice the peeled sweet potatoes crosswise into ¾-inch-thick rounds.
03
StepSeason 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
StepRoast to Perfection (15-18 minutes): Roast in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a knife.
05
StepCraft 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
StepSmash 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
StepGlaze and Garnish: Drizzle the prepared soy-citrus glaze over the smashed sweet potatoes. Garnish generously with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
