Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment or lightly oil.

  • Place chicken thighs skin-side up on pan. Scatter sweet potatoes around them.

  • In a bowl, mix maple syrup, mustard, vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper.

  • Brush half the glaze on the chicken. Drizzle olive oil over sweet potatoes and season.

  • Roast for 25 minutes. Remove, brush on remaining glaze, and toss sweet potatoes.

  • Return to oven for 15–20 minutes more, until chicken is golden and cooked through.

  • Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for crispier skin.

  • Let rest 5 minutes, garnish with herbs, and serve.

Notes

  • Substitute butternut squash or carrots for sweet potatoes

  • Use tofu for a vegan version

  • Store leftovers up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months
