Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until smooth and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Toss 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into 1-inch cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 tsp salt on a large rimmed sheet pan. Spread out evenly and roast for 15 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, pat dry 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven, push sweet potatoes to one side, and place chicken thighs skin-side up on the other side.
  4. Step 4: Brush each chicken thigh generously with the maple-mustard glaze, reserving some for later. Add 12 oz trimmed fresh green beans tossed in 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt next to the chicken and sweet potatoes.
  5. Step 5: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast everything for 25-30 minutes, brushing the chicken with remaining glaze halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  6. Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and juices to redistribute.
