Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry, then season evenly with turmeric, grated ginger, garlic powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Toss chopped root vegetables with 1 tbsp avocado oil, rosemary, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Place seasoned chicken thighs on top of vegetables on the baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp avocado oil and chicken broth.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and vegetables are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute for maximum tenderness and anti-inflammatory benefits.
