Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tbsp lemon juice, 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp chopped rosemary, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 boneless skin-on chicken thighs, 12 oz halved baby potatoes, and 8 oz carrot chunks to the marinade. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
  3. Step 3: Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast at 425°F for 30-35 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and the vegetables are tender, flipping the vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
