A simple and delicious sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard glazed chicken thighs roasted alongside tender veggies, perfect for quick and fuss-free weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (organic or free-range recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or wildflower)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 8 ounces green beans, trimmed (fresh or frozen)
  • A few sprigs fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste to make the honey mustard sauce.
  3. Wash and halve the baby potatoes, peel and cut carrots into sticks, trim the green beans. Toss them lightly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Arrange evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Brush the honey mustard sauce generously on all sides of the chicken pieces.
  5. Place the chicken thighs skin-side up on top of the veggies, spacing them to allow air circulation.
  6. Tuck fresh thyme sprigs around the chicken and veggies if using.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. Halfway through (around 20 minutes), gently toss the veggies with tongs and baste the chicken with pan juices.
  8. Check for doneness: chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), skin golden and crispy, veggies tender and caramelized.
  9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes on the pan before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before applying sauce for extra crispiness. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for best flavor and texture. Toss veggies gently halfway through cooking to prevent breaking. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even roasting. Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven to crisp skin back up. Can substitute veggies or add spices for variations.
