Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 1 medium onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 1 large red pepper (seeded and sliced)
  • 1 bulb fennel (sliced)
  • 1 large sweet potato (thinly sliced, peeling optional)
  • 3 teaspoons dried thyme (divided)
  • 8 bone-in chicken thighs (skinless (or leave the skins on if you like))
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Set aside a sheet pan. As an option, you can cover it in parchment paper for easier cleaning up
  • Place the onion, red pepper, fennel and sweet potato in a bowl. Toss with two tablespoons of olive oil, two teaspoons of thyme, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place this on the sheet pan in an even layer
  • In the same bowl, add the chicken, rosemary, and the remaining thyme and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place, skin-side up, over the vegetables on the sheet pan
  • Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through

Notes

  • If you’d like the chicken to be darker (especially if the skin is still on), place it under the broiler for just a minute or two, until the skin is darker and a bit crispier. Be careful, as the skin can get overcooked and blackened quickly
  • You can add other vegetables as well, including portabella mushrooms, cauliflower, and more
