PrintA cozy sheet-pan dinner featuring juicy maple-glazed chicken thighs paired with roasted sweet potatoes — simple, sweet, and savory in every bite.
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)
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.
