Description

Sheet pan harissa chicken is an easy choice for any weeknight dinner with spiced chicken thighs, veggies, and herbs cooking together for easy cleanup.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons harissa sauce, divided
4 (5 ounce) bone-in chicken thighs, or more to taste
8 ounces multicolored carrots, peeled, halved lengthwise and crosswise
8 ounces cauliflower florets
8 ounces baby potatoes, halved
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with foil.
2 Spoon 1 teaspoon harissa sauce under the skin of each chicken thigh, then transfer to the prepared pan. Spread carrots, cauliflower, and potatoes around chicken; drizzle evenly with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3 Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
4 Stir together parsley, garlic, and orange zest in a small bowl.
5 To serve, toss vegetables with remaining 2 teaspoons harissa sauce and sprinkle with parsley mixture.
