Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season evenly with 1 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, arrange chicken thighs skin-side up. Add carrots, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes around the chicken. Drizzle with 3 tbsp avocado oil, then sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh rosemary, 2 tbsp fresh thyme, and 1 lemon, thinly sliced.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges, flipping vegetables halfway through.
