Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- Fresh rosemary, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan, if desired.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss until each piece is evenly coated with the seasoned oil mixture.
- Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared baking dish or sheet pan, spacing them slightly apart.
- Arrange the potato wedges, sliced carrots, and quartered red onion around the chicken. Add the green beans, tucking them around the edges or between the chicken pieces.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade from the bowl over the vegetables. Season the vegetables with a little extra salt and pepper if desired.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F / 74°C), the skin is crispy and golden, and the vegetables are tender and lightly browned.
- If you’d like extra-crispy skin or more color on the vegetables, switch the oven to broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh rosemary before serving straight from the pan.
Notes
- For even cooking, choose chicken thighs that are similar in size.
- Pat the chicken skin dry with paper towels before seasoning to help it crisp up in the oven.
- Cut the potatoes and carrots into similar-sized pieces so they roast at the same rate as the chicken.
- If your pan is crowded, use a larger sheet pan or two pans to avoid steaming the chicken and vegetables.
- Taste and adjust seasoning after roasting; a final pinch of salt can really brighten the flavors.
