Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 1.5 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season evenly with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
  2. Step 2: Toss 2 cups diced sweet potatoes, 1.5 cups chopped bell peppers, and 1 medium sliced red onion in a large bowl with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Place the seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, then flip the chicken and toss the vegetables. Roast for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and juices run clear when pierced (internal temperature 165°F).
  5. Step 5: While chicken roasts, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp lemon juice in a small bowl.
  6. Step 6: Remove sheet pan from oven. Brush the honey-thyme glaze over the chicken and vegetables, then return to oven for 3-4 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and caramelized.
