Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss 2 medium peeled potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes and 2 medium peeled carrots cut into 1-inch pieces with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Step 2: Arrange potatoes and carrots in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, season 4 bone-in skin-on chicken thighs with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  4. Step 4: Place seasoned chicken thighs on top of the roasted vegetables, nestling them into the potatoes and carrots. Return to oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and golden.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
