Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs with Fall Vegetables Tips
- I included 4 different types of veggies but you can easily make this with one or two. I wanted to display all of vegetable options that I thought went well with these spices but feel free or choose the ones your family enjoys best.
- Alternatively you can make all 4 vegetables for a variety (everyone enjoys different parts of this meal best)
- For example: Chris and I enjoy everything
- Savanna likes the cauliflower, carrots & potatoes best
- John likes the chicken, potatoes & cauliflower best
- Peter likes the carrots and butternut squash
- I love to make the variety for the extras
- For example: Chris and I enjoy everything
- If you are making all 4 vegetables and have extra veggies make a second sheet pan toss with olive oil and salt and use them for salads or a roasted veggie soup. I have done both and I find it super helpful for lunches or a second light meal.
- Make ahead:
- This can be prepared ahead of time and placed in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook it.
- This reheats well. Make this earlier in the day and either keep at room temperature or once it is at room temperature heat for 10 minutes at 300.
