- 6 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
- 4 medium potatoes, chopped into chunks
- 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes and carrots with 2 tablespoons olive oil, half the garlic powder, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
- Spread vegetables evenly in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
- Rub chicken drumsticks with remaining olive oil and season with the rest of the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Nestle the drumsticks on top of the vegetables.
- Roast uncovered for 45–50 minutes, flipping the chicken and vegetables halfway through, until chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
- Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
- Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- Use bone-in, skin-on drumsticks for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Add sliced onions or bell peppers for extra veggies.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
