A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy chicken thighs and caramelized roasted vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or dinner parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 to 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 medium carrots, cut into thick sticks
  • 8 ounces Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, rosemary, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
  3. In the same bowl, toss baby potatoes, carrots, Brussels sprouts, and red onion with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Spread vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed sheet pan, leaving space between pieces. Nestle chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables.
  5. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping vegetables halfway through. Chicken skin should be golden and crispy; internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Remove from oven, squeeze lemon juice over chicken and vegetables, and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid soggy vegetables. For extra crispy skin, broil chicken for last 2-3 minutes watching closely. Let chicken rest after roasting to redistribute juices. Vegetables can be swapped seasonally. Avoid microwaving leftovers to keep skin crispy; reheat in oven instead.
