Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs with 3 tbsp olive oil, 6 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Toss well to coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 peeled and cut carrots, 2 chopped red bell peppers, 2 sliced zucchinis, and 1 large red onion cut into wedges to the bowl. Toss all vegetables with the chicken and seasoning until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a large sheet pan and spread the vegetables evenly around them. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
