Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp chopped rosemary, 2 tsp chopped thyme, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest until fragrant.
- Step 2: Add 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, 12 oz baby carrots, 1 lb halved new potatoes, and 1 sliced red bell pepper to the bowl. Toss everything thoroughly to coat with the herb mixture.
- Step 3: Spread the chicken and vegetables evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet, skin side up for the chicken, ensuring they are in a single layer.
- Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized on the edges.
- Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute in the chicken.
