Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, combine 4 tbsp olive oil, 2 tsp ground turmeric, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to make a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  3. Step 3: Toss 2 medium peeled and cubed sweet potatoes in the remaining marinade until well coated.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the chicken thighs skin side up on a large rimmed sheet pan and spread the sweet potatoes around them in a single layer.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the sweet potatoes are tender and caramelized, turning the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
