160g
1 red pepper
80g
4 cups pumpkin
480g
3/4 cup green beans
170g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the honey and mustard until well combined. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and chop the onion into wedges.
- Core and slice the red pepper into strips.
- Peel and dice the pumpkin into bite-sized pieces.
- Trim the ends off the green beans.
4. Season the Chicken:
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Arrange the Ingredients on Tray:
- Place the chicken thighs on a large baking tray.
- Arrange the onion wedges, red pepper strips, pumpkin pieces, and green beans around the chicken.
6. Add Olive Oil and Sauce:
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
- Brush the honey mustard sauce generously over each chicken thigh. If any sauce remains, drizzle it over the vegetables.
7. Roast the Tray Bake:
Place the baking tray in the preheated oven. Roast for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
8. Serve:
Remove the tray from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs. Serve immediately, or let it cool and portion into meal prep containers for later use.

Tips:

- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure even cooking.

- Marinate the chicken thighs in the honey and mustard mixture for at least 30 minutes beforehand to enhance the flavor.

- Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

- You can line the baking tray with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

- Stir the vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure they are roasted evenly on all sides.
