Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry, then season evenly with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped thyme.
  2. Step 2: Finely chop 4 garlic cloves and mix with 3 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl. Rub garlic-olive oil mixture over chicken thighs, coating all sides evenly.
  3. Step 3: Peel and cut 1 lb parsnips and 1 lb beets into 1-inch chunks. Peel and quarter 1 large red onion. Toss vegetables with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a large baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Arrange seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet around the vegetables, ensuring they're not crowded.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and skin is golden brown, stirring vegetables halfway through cooking.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted vegetables. The skin should be crisp and the meat juicy when pierced with a fork.
