There are few things as comforting—and convenient—as a sheet-pan dinner where the oven does all the heavy lifting. By cranking the heat to 425°F, you ensure that the skin on the chicken thighs renders beautifully and gets perfectly crisp, while simultaneously caramelizing the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes. The savory, rich drippings from the chicken gently flavor the roasting vegetables beneath, bringing everything together into one cohesive, deeply satisfying weeknight meal.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Step 2: Pat the chicken thighs completely dry with paper towels. Rub them with 1 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and thyme.
Step 3: On the prepared baking sheet, toss the halved Brussels sprouts and cubed sweet potatoes with the remaining 2 tbsp of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 4: Push the vegetables to the edges of the pan and place the seasoned chicken thighs in the center, ensuring they have some space around them so the skin gets crispy.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the skin is deeply golden and crispy.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the caramelized vegetables.
