Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Whisk 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 2 tbsp pure maple syrup, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl to make a glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 1 cup chopped carrots, 1 cup chopped parsnips, and 1 cup chopped potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat and spread in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken thighs on top of vegetables, brush with the mustard-maple glaze, and roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender, basting once with pan juices.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
