Tips:

For a crispy-tender texture, roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes, tossing them halfway through cooking.
To get a more caramelized flavor, add a tablespoon of brown sugar or honey to the roasting pan.
If you like a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a teaspoon of minced jalapeño to the roasting pan.
For a more savory dish, sprinkle the sweet potatoes with a teaspoon of smoked paprika or cumin before roasting.
To make the orange-ginger sauce, simply whisk together orange juice, ginger, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately, topped with the orange-ginger sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
