Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary, 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper until combined and aromatic.
Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to the bowl, coating them evenly with the herb oil mixture.
Step 3: On a large rimmed baking sheet, spread 3 large peeled and chunked carrots, 2 medium peeled and chunked parsnips, and 4 quartered red potatoes. Drizzle any leftover herb oil over the vegetables and toss to coat.
Step 4: Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables in a single layer.
Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and an internal temperature of 165°F is reached, and vegetables are tender.
Step 6: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving this hearty winter dish.
