Harvest Sheet-Pan Dinner (Print)

Autumn flavors shine in a simple sheet-pan dinner: chicken, vegetables, and maple-mustard glaze for comforting ease.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
03 - 2 medium carrots, sliced
04 - 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
05 - 1 large apple, cored and sliced
06 - 1 cup Brussels sprouts, halved

→ Glaze & Seasonings

07 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
09 - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
10 - 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
11 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
12 - 1 teaspoon salt
13 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Optional Garnish

14 - 1/4 cup chopped pecans
15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# How to Cook:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until fully emulsified.
03 - Distribute chicken thighs, butternut squash, carrots, red onion, apple slices, and Brussels sprouts evenly across the prepared baking sheet.
04 - Drizzle the glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Toss the vegetables gently to ensure an even coating, and confirm chicken thighs are fully covered.
05 - Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are golden and tender.
06 - During the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle chopped pecans over the pan if using for additional crunch.
07 - Remove the pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm.
