Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese preferably freshly grated
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, bell peppers, zucchini) cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Sheet pan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cooking spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix the grated Parmesan with dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to help the Parmesan stick and promote crispiness.
  3. Press the chicken thighs into the Parmesan mixture, coating all sides evenly with the cheese blend for a flavorful crust.
  4. Meanwhile, toss the chopped vegetables with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Arrange the seasoned vegetables on a large sheet pan, creating a bed for the chicken to rest on while roasting.
  6. Place the Parmesan-crusted chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the vegetables, spacing them out to ensure even cooking and crispy skin.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken skin is crispy and golden and the vegetables are tender and caramelized around the edges.
  8. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes, then serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables, enjoying the crispy Parmesan crust and tender, flavorful vegetables.
