03 - 12 oz carrots, peeled and cut into 1.5 inch pieces
04 - 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

12 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

# Method:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
02 - In a large bowl, combine potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic with half the olive oil, half the salt and pepper, and half of the dried herbs. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared tray.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub with remaining olive oil, salt, pepper, dried herbs, smoked paprika, and lemon zest.
04 - Nestle seasoned chicken thighs skin-side up among the vegetables on the tray.
05 - Roast in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crisp and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Stir the vegetables once halfway through for even browning.
06 - Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
