Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 3 medium Carrots
- 4 small Red potatoes
- 1 large Zucchini
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Rosemary (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 slice Lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Peel the carrots and chop them into 1-inch chunks. Quarter the red potatoes and slice the zucchini into thick rounds. Cut the red onion into wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with half the minced garlic, half the rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss well to coat the vegetables evenly.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub the skin with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season on both sides with the remaining garlic, rosemary, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up, spacing them slightly apart. Scatter the seasoned vegetables around the chicken in an even layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is golden and crispy. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
If desired, turn on the broiler during the last 2–3 minutes of cooking for extra crispy chicken skin.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the top, if desired.
