Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, and 4 small red potatoes cut into chunks with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, and 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme until evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan. Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs spaced evenly on top of the vegetables.
Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme, and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Rub this mixture evenly over the chicken thighs, ensuring the skin is coated.
Step 4: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing juices to redistribute and flavors to meld.
