A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring crispy chicken thighs and roasted vegetables with minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
  • 2 medium carrots, sliced diagonally
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: lemon wedges for squeezing over finished dish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. In a separate bowl, toss baby potatoes, green beans, and carrots with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on the sheet pan, spacing them out. Scatter the veggies around the chicken without overcrowding.
  5. Roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), use tongs to flip the potatoes and carrots for even browning, leaving chicken skin side up.
  6. Check for doneness: chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and veggies should be tender with golden-brown edges. Roast an additional 5 minutes if needed.
  7. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving to add brightness and balance the rich flavors.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, parboil them for 5 minutes before roasting. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming and sogginess. Pat chicken skin dry to ensure crispiness. Use high heat (425°F) for best caramelization. Leftovers reheat best in the oven to retain crispiness.
