Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 1.5 lbs bone-in chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp maple syrup until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 12 oz sliced carrots and 10 oz halved Brussels sprouts in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Step 4: Place chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan over the vegetables. Brush the honey-mustard mixture evenly over the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 35-40 minutes, basting the chicken with pan juices every 15 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and the vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
