18 - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Set the oven to 425°F (220°C), ensuring it reaches full temperature before roasting.
02 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
03 - In a small bowl, thoroughly whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, dried thyme, and smoked paprika until smooth.
04 - In a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet, combine carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and rosemary sprigs. Toss well and distribute in a single, even layer.
05 - Nestle prepared chicken thighs among the seasoned vegetables, skin side facing upward. Generously brush thighs with half of the honey glaze.
06 - Roast in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the pan, brush chicken with the remaining glaze, and gently toss the vegetables.
07 - Return pan to oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes, or until chicken skin is golden and crisp and vegetables are fork-tender. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
08 - Remove rosemary sprigs. Allow chicken and vegetables to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
