Roasted Radish & Chicken Sheet Pan (Printable)

One-pan chicken thighs with caramelized potatoes, roasted radishes, and bright lemon. Easy weeknight dinner for four.

# What You'll Need:

→ Proteins

01 - 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 pound radishes, trimmed and halved
03 - 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
04 - 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges

→ Marinade & Seasonings

05 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
07 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
08 - 1 teaspoon dried thyme
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Finish

11 - 1 lemon, zested and juiced
12 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional

# Cooking Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
03 - Add chicken thighs to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Remove and set aside on a clean plate.
04 - Add radishes, potatoes, and red onion to the remaining marinade and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
05 - Spread coated vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Nestle chicken thighs skin side up among the vegetables.
06 - Roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and vegetables are tender.
07 - Remove from the oven. Drizzle everything with fresh lemon juice, sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped parsley if desired.
08 - Transfer to serving plates and serve hot, spooning pan juices over the chicken and vegetables.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • radishes lose their sharp bite in the oven and turn almost candy sweet while still holding their shape
  • everything cooks on one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
  • the lemon finish at the end brightens the whole dish in a way that makes it feel restaurant special
02 -
  • crowding the pan will steam everything instead of roasting it, so use two pans if yours looks cramped
  • letting the chicken rest for five minutes before serving helps the juices redistribute
  • the radishes should be tender but still hold their shape, not mushy
03 -
  • if the chicken is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last ten minutes
  • extra lemon juice can be added at the table if you love that bright acidic note
