Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large sheet pan, toss 4 cups cauliflower florets with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped rosemary, and 1 tbsp chopped thyme until evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange 6 bone-in chicken thighs with skin side up on the sheet pan among the cauliflower. Drizzle the chicken with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 5 sliced garlic cloves.
Step 3: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until chicken skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F, and cauliflower is golden at edges.
Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle 1 tsp lemon zest over everything for a bright finish before serving.
