Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp fresh chopped rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in chicken thighs and place in a large roasting pan. Brush the maple-mustard glaze generously over each piece.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 3 chopped carrots, 2 chopped parsnips, and 4 quartered red potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated. Scatter vegetables around the chicken in the roasting pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 35-40 minutes, basting chicken and stirring vegetables halfway through, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
