Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, toss potatoes, carrots, and zucchini with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, minced garlic, and rosemary until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange chicken thighs in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Surround with vegetable mixture, ensuring even distribution.
Step 4: Roast for 25-28 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and vegetables are golden and tender.
Step 5: Squeeze remaining 1 tbsp lemon juice over the dish and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
