Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place chicken thighs skin-side up in a single layer on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
Step 2: Arrange carrots and potatoes around the chicken, then drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon zest, minced garlic, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Step 3: Roast for 30 minutes, then flip chicken thighs and toss vegetables. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, and 1 tsp salt. Continue roasting for 15-20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender with golden edges.
Step 4: Remove from oven, sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh dill and remaining 1/2 tsp lemon zest. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
