Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well mixed.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs in half of the spiced olive oil mixture, coating evenly, then arrange on the sheet pan. In the same bowl, add 3 peeled and cut carrots, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges, then toss with the remaining spiced olive oil.
  3. Step 3: Spread the vegetables around the chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer. Roast everything at 425°F for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Remove from the oven and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley evenly over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
