Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 large peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground paprika, and 1 tsp sea salt until evenly coated. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Step 2: In the same bowl, add 6 bone-in chicken thighs, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Rub the mixture onto the chicken thoroughly.
3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet next to the sweet potatoes. Roast for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and juices run clear, and the sweet potatoes are tender.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and drizzle 1 tbsp lemon juice over the chicken and sweet potatoes. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
