Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 2 peeled and cubed medium sweet potatoes with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary until evenly coated. Spread sweet potatoes on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Step 2: Pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and place them skin side up on the baking sheet, leaving space between pieces. Rub each thigh with 1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp sea salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
