Ingredients
- 1.25 lbs bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 lb baby potatoes
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 lb baby potatoes (halved if large), 2 cups broccoli florets, and 1 cup sliced carrots with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried rosemary, and 1 tsp dried thyme. Spread in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Step 2: Pat 1.25 lbs bone-in chicken thighs dry, season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, then place on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 3: Roast on middle rack for 35-40 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and reaches 165°F internal temperature, and vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
- Step 4: Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes. The chicken should be juicy with crisp skin, and vegetables should be tender with a slight char, releasing a savory, herb-infused aroma.
