One-Pan Roasted Chicken and Autumn Vegetables
Serves 4
Serves 4
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
4 carrots
1 medium sweet potato
1 red onion
2 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, separated
2 ¼ tsp salt, separated
Fresh ground pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp ground mustard
4 carrots
1 medium sweet potato
1 red onion
2 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, separated
2 ¼ tsp salt, separated
Fresh ground pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp chili powder
¼ tsp ground mustard
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a sheet pan with foil. Set aside.
Peel the carrots and sweet potatoes. Starting at the large end, cut the carrots into ½ inch slices. As the carrot gets skinnier, make the cuts a little longer, so all the pieces are about the same size overall. Cut the sweet potato into 1 inch pieces. Cut the onion into small wedges. Transfer all cut vegetables to the sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp olive oil, then toss until evenly coated. Spread out in an even layer. Sprinkle with 1 ½ tsp salt.
Nestle the chicken thighs into the vegetables and drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil. Sprinkle with ¾ tsp salt and fresh ground pepper. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, chili powder, and ground mustard. Sprinkle spice mixture over the chicken.
Roast in the preheated 400°F oven for 40 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a chicken thigh reads 165°F. Put pan under the broiler for 2-4 minutes, until the chicken is golden and crispy, being careful not to burn it. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
