Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
3.
Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized.
4.
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the gochujang glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar.
5.
Heat the glaze over medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
6.
Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a clean bowl.
7.
Pour the gochujang glaze over the sweet potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
8.
Return the glazed sweet potatoes to the baking sheet and roast for another 5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize further.
9.
Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the gochujang glaze.

If you don't have gochujang, you can substitute with a mixture of chili garlic sauce and a touch of brown sugar.

The sweet potato bites are best served immediately while they are still warm and crispy.

Store leftover sweet potato bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
