Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place 2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp dijon mustard, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a large bowl; whisk until combined.
  2. Step 2: Add chicken thighs to the bowl, rubbing the marinade evenly over all sides; arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 large peeled carrots cut into 1-inch chunks and 2 medium zucchini cut into 1/2-inch half-moons with the remaining marinade, then spread around chicken on the sheet pan.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning vegetables halfway, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  5. Step 5: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
