Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
~5 min - 2
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into bite-sized cubes, about 1 inch in size.
~10 min - 3
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
~2 min - 4
Roast the sweet potatoes for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through.
~25 min - 5
While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic powder until well combined.
~3 min - 6
Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, carefully transfer them back to the large bowl. Pour the gochujang glaze over the warm sweet potato cubes and toss gently to coat each piece evenly.
~2 min - 7
Return the glazed sweet potato bites to the baking sheet and bake for another 5 minutes, or until the glaze is slightly sticky and caramelized. Watch closely to prevent burning.
~5 min - 8
Transfer the glazed sweet potato bites to a serving bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallions before serving.
Tips
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the glaze.
- These bites are best served warm, but can also be enjoyed at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
