Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create a seasoning mix.

Step 3: Add 1 lb halved baby potatoes, 3 medium carrots cut into 2-inch pieces, and 1 large red onion cut into wedges around the chicken on the pan.
Step 4: Toss the vegetables gently with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh thyme over the entire sheet pan.
Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 6: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving warm.
