Ranch-seasoned chicken thighs roasted with potatoes and carrots on a single sheet pan for a quick, flavorful meal.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
04 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - ½ teaspoon black pepper
06 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt

→ Vegetables

07 - 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
08 - 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
09 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
10 - 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning mix
11 - ½ teaspoon salt
12 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - In another bowl, toss potatoes and carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ranch seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Arrange the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs, skin-side up, among the vegetables.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken skin is crispy and golden and internal temperature reaches 165°F; vegetables should be tender and caramelized.
06 - Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispy skin.
07 - Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

# Expert Hacks:

01 -
  • One-pan preparation means very little cleanup after dinner.
  • Classic ranch seasoning provides a flavor profile that is both nostalgic and family-friendly.
  • Balanced nutrition featuring high-quality protein and fiber-rich vegetables.
  • Gluten-free and easy to adapt for dairy-free diets.
02 -
  • Always pat the chicken skin completely dry before seasoning to ensure it gets maximum crispiness in the oven.
  • Cut your carrots and potatoes into uniform sizes so they finish roasting at the same time as the chicken.
  • Check the labels of your ranch seasoning if you have dairy allergies, as many store-bought mixes contain buttermilk powder.
