Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Cut lemon into thin slices, mince garlic, and chop rosemary. Toss zucchini (sliced 1/2-inch thick), red onion (quartered), and cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, oregano, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs skin-side up on top of vegetables, nestle lemon slices and garlic between them, then scatter rosemary over all. Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender with slightly caramelized edges.
