Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place chicken thighs in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 2: Arrange zucchini and broccoli around the chicken on the same sheet pan. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, then sprinkle with remaining 2 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
Step 3: Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), and vegetables are tender with slight browning.
