Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 tbsp za’atar, 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 6 bone-in chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece with the za’atar marinade.
  3. Step 3: Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a large rimmed baking sheet. Surround with 12 oz baby carrots, 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces, and 1 medium red onion cut into wedges.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the vegetables are tender, stirring the vegetables halfway through.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the chicken and vegetables.
