Author's Notes

Cooking times may vary depending on your oven. If you plan on making Spicy Chicken and Roasted Vegetable Quesadillas later this week, make sure to double the recipe so you have leftovers to use as filling!

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
step 2
Thinly slice Red Bell Pepper (1), Yellow Bell Pepper (1), and Zucchini (2) into ½-inch thick strips.
step 3
Dice the Sweet Potato (1) and Potato (1) into 1-inch pieces. Place in a bowl.
step 4
Combine the Lemon Zest (2), Lemon Juice, Sage Leaves (1 bunch), Butter (4 Tbsp), Salt (1 1/3 Tbsp), and Ground Black Pepper (1 1/3 Tbsp) into a mixing bowl. Microwave slightly for 15-30 seconds. Stir to combine then set aside.
step 5
Spread the vegetables over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
step 6
Remove the tray from the oven and lay the Bone-In Chicken Thighs (4) and quartered lemons on top of the vegetables.
step 7
Brush the herbed butter on each chicken thigh and over the vegetables. Season the tray with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste).
step 8
Take back to the oven for 20 minutes or until tender and juicy.
step 9
Garnish with Fresh Parsley (to taste). If you made double for Spicy Chicken and Roasted Vegetable Quesadillas, let the leftovers cool then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
