Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in chicken thighs, 2 medium cubed sweet potatoes, and 12 oz trimmed green beans on a large rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle the maple glaze over everything and toss the sweet potatoes and green beans gently to coat evenly.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan with the vegetables around them. Roast for 30-35 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper over the vegetables and chicken for additional seasoning.
