Description

A bold, flavor-packed sheet pan dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs glazed with spicy harissa and sweet orange juice, roasted alongside caramelized sweet potatoes and tender red onions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons harissa paste
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 red onions, cut into wedges
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together harissa paste, orange juice, honey, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread sweet potatoes and onions on the sheet pan.
  4. Coat chicken thighs in the marinade, then nestle them between the vegetables, skin-side up.
  5. Roast for 40–45 minutes, basting the chicken and flipping veggies halfway through.
  6. Sprinkle chopped parsley over everything and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  7. Serve hot with a drizzle of pan juices over the top.

Notes

  • Marinate chicken for up to 24 hours for deeper flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F.
  • For a spicier version, add extra harissa paste or chili flakes.
