Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and 3 tbsp honey; toss 1.5 lbs chicken thighs in the mixture until fully coated, then arrange them on the sheet pan.
  3. Step 3: Add 2 cups diced zucchini, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, and 1 lb halved baby potatoes around the chicken, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25 minutes, flipping the chicken and vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, then garnish with extra rosemary.
