Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat chicken thighs dry and season evenly with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix rosemary and thyme with 1 tbsp avocado oil in a small bowl.
  2. Step 2: Rub herb oil mixture over chicken thighs, coating completely. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Step 3: Dice sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes and spread on a separate baking sheet. Drizzle with 1/2 tsp avocado oil and season with a pinch of salt.
  4. Step 4: Roast both sheets in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 25-28 minutes until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized at edges.
