→ Garnish

15 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger, vinegar, and black pepper until well combined.
03 - Add chicken pieces to the bowl with sauce and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes if time permits.
04 - Spread all vegetables and chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining sauce over everything and toss gently to combine.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken reaches internal temperature and vegetables are tender with light caramelization.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if using.
07 - Transfer to serving plates and serve hot with rice or quinoa as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan so cleanup consists of exactly one piece of foil
  • The sauce creates this gorgeous sticky glaze that makes even simple vegetables feel special
  • You can prep the vegetables while the oven heats up and have dinner ready in under 40 minutes
02 -
  • Stir halfway through cooking or the vegetables on the bottom will burn while the ones on top stay raw
  • Crowding the pan creates steam instead of roasting so use two pans if needed rather than piling everything up
  • The sauce will bubble and darken significantly in the oven which is normal but check at 20 minutes to prevent scorching
03 -
  • Line your sheet pan with foil underneath the parchment for absolutely effortless cleanup
  • Double the sauce recipe if you love things extra saucy because it reduces significantly in the oven
