Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 5 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper.
2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly in the herb-garlic oil.
3. Step 3: In a large roasting pan, spread 3 peeled and chopped carrots, 1 large cut red bell pepper, 2 sliced zucchinis, and 1 wedged red onion. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
4. Step 4: Nestle the coated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables in the roasting pan.
5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until chicken skin is golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
