# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
02 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and paprika.
03 - In a small bowl, whisk melted butter with minced garlic, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until well combined.
04 - Place chicken thighs skin-side up on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with half the garlic butter mixture.
05 - In a large bowl, combine broccoli florets, carrots, bell pepper strips, and red onion wedges. Toss with olive oil, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
06 - Spread the seasoned vegetables on the opposite side of the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast for 20 minutes.
07 - Remove baking sheet from oven. Brush chicken thighs with remaining garlic butter and toss the vegetables for uniform roasting.
08 - Return to oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, until chicken skin is crisp and vegetables are tender.
09 - Broil chicken and vegetables for 2–3 minutes if enhanced browning is desired. Serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if preferred.
