15 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
16 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, and lemon zest until fully combined.
03 - Pat the chicken thighs dry. In a large bowl, toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour half of the honey lemon marinade over the chicken and rub to coat thoroughly. Reserve the remaining marinade.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss halved baby potatoes, broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and red onion wedges with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
05 - Spread the prepared vegetables in an even layer on the sheet pan. Nestle the chicken thighs among the vegetables, keeping the skin side facing up.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
07 - Drizzle the reserved marinade over the chicken and vegetables. Broil for 2 minutes to enhance caramelization, if desired.
08 - Serve hot. Garnish with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs as preferred.
