Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Cut 1/2 medium sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes and 2 medium carrots into 1/2-inch coins. Place on a baking sheet with 1/2 cup asparagus. Drizzle with 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat and spread in an even layer.
Step 2: Season 6 oz chicken thighs with 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 lemon juiced and zested to the chicken, then rub in thoroughly.
Step 3: Place the seasoned chicken on top of the vegetables. Roast for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Serve hot.
