Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry, then rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
2. Step 2: Arrange 1 lb diced potatoes, 2 sliced zucchini, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 medium diced onion on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
3. Step 3: Place chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan among the vegetables. Roast for 30-35 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are golden-brown and tender, flipping vegetables halfway through.
4. Step 4: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring crispy skin and juicy meat.
