Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp miso paste, 1.5 tbsp grated ginger, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 2 tbsp olive oil until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Arrange carrots and cherry tomatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then place chicken thighs skin-side up on top. Brush the miso glaze evenly over chicken and vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25 minutes, then flip chicken thighs and toss vegetables until carrots are tender-crisp and tomatoes burst, about 10 more minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and glaze is bubbling and slightly caramelized.

How do I store leftover Miso-Glazed Carrot & Ginger Sheet Pan Chicken?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep cherry tomatoes from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Miso-Glazed Carrot & Ginger Sheet Pan Chicken?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Miso-Glazed Carrot & Ginger Sheet Pan Chicken for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
