Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, granulated garlic, granulated onion, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and then add them to the bowl with the seasoning mixture and toss to coat thoroughly.
Prepare the vegetables by peeling and cutting the rutabaga, parsnip, carrots, and baby yellow potatoes into large, consistent pieces.
Add the prepared vegetables to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
Drizzle olive oil over the chicken and vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss everything together until coated.
Transfer the seasoned chicken and vegetables onto a sheet pan in a single layer with the chicken skin side up.

Cooking

Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken's internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving

Garnish the dish with fresh thyme, rosemary, or parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken thighs are thoroughly dried before seasoning for maximum crispiness. You can swap the vegetables based on your preference as long as they are hearty enough to roast.
