Ingredients 

  • 5-6 small bone-in chicken thighs approximately 2 pounds
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts trimmed and halved
  • 1 pound carrots peeled and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes chopped into 2-inch pieces OPTIONAL *
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons granulated garlic or garlic powder
  • 1½ teaspoons plain or smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon granulated onion or onion powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Place the chicken on a large baking sheet and place the vegetables in a mixing bowl. Stir the olive oil and lemon juice together with all of the spices. Drizzle the spice mixture over the meat and vegetables.
  • Use your hands to stir everything around a bit and make sure everything is well coated. Leave the chicken skin side up on the baking sheet.
  • Place the sheet pan in the center of the oven and roast for approximately 25 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and add the vegetables around the chicken.
  • Return the pan to the oven and continue cooking for an additional 25 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly crisp.

Notes

This recipe can easily be doubled. Simply use two sheet pans. Depending on how your oven cooks, you may want to rotate the pans halfway through the cooking time.
* If you choose to include the potatoes, you'll likely need to use two sheet pans to accommodate everything with enough room to cook evenly.
