Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the Fuyu persimmons thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife, remove the leafy stem from each persimmon. Slice the persimmons into rounds approximately 1/4 inch thick, discarding any seeds.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the ground cinnamon, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and olive oil until well combined.
Add the persimmon slices to the bowl, lightly tossing them with your hands to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the cinnamon mixture.
Arrange the coated persimmon slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping the slices halfway through, until the persimmons are softened and slightly caramelized.
Allow the slices to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve the cinnamon-spiced persimmon slices warm or at room temperature as a delicious low sodium snack or dessert.
