Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower, then cut it into bite-sized florets. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the skin and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken.
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potatoes and cauliflower florets with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Arrange the chicken thighs on one side of the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Spread the sweet potatoes and cauliflower on the other side, ensuring they are in a single layer for even cooking.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
For extra crispy chicken skin, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, keeping an eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the chicken and vegetables before serving. Enjoy!
