Ingredients
Scale
4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
2 cups baby carrots
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow onion, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or rosemary for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
In a large bowl, combine the baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and Dijon mustard until well combined.
In a large baking dish, arrange the seasoned chicken thighs in the center. Surround them with the prepared vegetables. Drizzle the maple glaze over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with the pan juices for extra flavor and moisture.
For a crispy skin, switch to broil for the last 3-5 minutes of cooking, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven. Let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
Optionally, sprinkle with fresh thyme or rosemary for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or turkey for a leaner option.
