Ingredients
  

4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 cup baby carrots, halved if large

1 cup Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips

1 yellow onion, cut into wedges

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. This mixture will give your chicken a flavorful, crispy skin.

      Season the chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

        Prepare the veggies: In another bowl, toss the baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, red bell pepper, and onion with balsamic vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the veggies are seasoned.

          Arrange on the sheet pan: Place the marinated chicken thighs skin-side up in the center of the prepared baking sheet. Arrange the seasoned vegetables around the chicken in a single layer to promote even roasting.

            Roast in the oven: Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.

              Broil for extra crispiness: If desired, switch the oven to broil for an additional 2-4 minutes at the end of the cooking time to achieve an extra crispy skin on the chicken. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

                Garnish and serve: Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish for a pop of color and freshness before serving.
