Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 3 chopped carrots and 2 chopped parsnips with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper, spreading evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized at edges.
  2. Step 2: While vegetables roast, pat dry 4 bone-in chicken thighs and season both sides with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Place chicken thighs skin-side down in skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes until skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook another 6 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Step 5: Remove chicken from heat, drizzle with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice and sprinkle 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme over the top.
  6. Step 6: Serve chicken thighs alongside the roasted root vegetables, spooning any pan juices over the chicken for extra flavor.
