Sticky-sweet maple-glazed chicken thighs roasted alongside caramelized sweet potatoes in one pan. A cozy, wholesome dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp smoked paprika

  • Optional: fresh thyme sprigs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

  • Toss cubed sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, ¼ tsp salt, and paprika. Spread on one side of sheet.

  • Pat chicken dry. Rub with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika. Arrange on the other side of the sheet.

  • Mix maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, Dijon, and garlic. Reserve half.

  • Roast for 25 minutes. Brush chicken with half the glaze. Flip potatoes.

  • Roast another 15–20 minutes until chicken is 175°F and potatoes are golden.

Notes

Substitute butternut squash or carrots for sweet potatoes. Use boneless chicken if preferred. Keeps well for 3 days in the fridge.
