2.Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and add half the minced garlic.
3.Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and half the paprika and thyme.

assemble
Arrange everything on the sheet pan.
1.Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
2.Nestle the chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables.
TIPDon't crowd the pan—everything needs space to roast, not steam.
roast · ~40 min

1.Place the sheet pan on the middle rack of the preheated oven.
2.Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crisp.
