Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 1 orange, zested and juiced
• 4 sweet potatoes
• fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish
• 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
• 0.25 cup less-sodium soy sauce

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil

Step 2

Peel sweet potatoes and cut crosswise into 3/4-inch-thick rounds.

Step 3

Toss together sweet potatoes, oil, and gochugaru (Korean chile flakes) in a bowl. Spread out in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Step 4

Roast in the preheated oven until knife-tender, 15 to 18 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, bring brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice and orange zest to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until a thick, syrupy glaze forms, about 15 minutes. Remove potatoes from oven.

Step 6

Position oven rack 6 inches from heat; preheat broiler. Lightly smash each potato slice with the bottom of a glass. Broil until browned in spots, about 3 minutes. Drizzle with glaze. Garnish with cilantro.
