Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 2 medium cut sweet potato wedges with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 10 minutes while preparing chicken.
  2. Step 2: Pat 8 (3 oz) chicken thighs dry. Rub with 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place chicken thighs skin-side up on a separate baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: After 10 minutes, add chicken thighs to the oven. Roast for 25-28 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and skin is golden and crisp, flipping halfway through cooking.
