Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup maple syrup, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves until combined.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs on a large rimmed baking sheet. Pat dry and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Toss 4 peeled carrots cut into 1/2-inch sticks and 2 bell peppers (1 red and 1 yellow, each cut into 1-inch strips) with 3 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves. Spread vegetables around chicken.
  3. Step 3: Brush half of the maple-soy glaze evenly over the chicken thighs. Roast everything for 15 minutes at 425°F.
  4. Step 4: Remove the pan from the oven, brush the chicken with the remaining glaze, and toss the vegetables gently. Return to oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with browned edges.
  5. Step 5: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted vegetables.
