Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season evenly with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: Peel and cut carrots and parsnips into 1-inch chunks. Place in a baking dish, then add 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chopped rosemary, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: Nestle seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables. Roast for 35-40 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are tender with golden edges.
