Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 tbsp honey, 4 tbsp soy sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until combined.

  3. Step 3: Pour the honey-soy glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables, tossing the vegetables gently with your hands to coat.
  4. Step 4: Roast on the middle rack for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Optional: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp chopped green onions over the dish before serving for extra flavor and crunch.
