Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season both sides 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 olive oil until smooth. Brush half the mixture over chicken thighs.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 cups sliced carrots and 2 cups diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
  4. Step 4: Place seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up on the baking sheet over the vegetables. Brush remaining honey-mustard glaze over chicken.
  5. Step 5: Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with golden edges.
  6. Step 6: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Drizzle any pan juices over the top.
