Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the honey and mustard until well combined. Set aside.
- 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.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the chicken thighs on a large baking tray.
- Arrange the onion wedges, red pepper strips, pumpkin pieces, and green beans around the chicken.
- 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.
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.
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.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the tray bake for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
