02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon salt
04 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch sticks
06 - 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
07 - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges

→ Honey Mustard Glaze

08 - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard

12 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
13 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme

→ Garnish

14 - Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

# How To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and thyme until well combined.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub evenly with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Place chicken thighs, carrots, potatoes, and red onion on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer, leaving space between pieces for even roasting.
05 - Brush half of the honey mustard glaze directly over chicken pieces. Drizzle remaining glaze over vegetables and toss gently to coat.
06 - Roast in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender. Stir vegetables halfway through cooking for even browning.
07 - Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
