A simply delicious and frugal dinner! So versatile, you can use virtually any of your favorite veggies, such as those listed below, or other favorites like butternut squash, cauliflower, parsnips, etc. Just be sure to cut the veggies accordingly, so they’ll cook evenly alongside the chicken.
Lightly brush both sides of the drumsticks with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle with additional sea salt.
Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges and roast until chicken is cooked through.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
- 1 tbsp dried Italian herb seasoning
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 6-8 chicken drumsticks, skin-on
- 8-10 small organic potatoes, quartered (we like to use a potato medley)
- 4 medium organic carrots, cut into 2” pieces
- 2 medium organic zucchini, cut into 3” pieces
- Half of a medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
- 4 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of olive oil with the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and minced garlic. Place drumsticks and onion wedges on a foil-lined, large-rimmed baking sheet (12x17) and lightly brush both sides with the herb-oil mixture. Then, lightly sprinkle chicken with additional sea salt.
- Next, add one additional tablespoon of olive oil to the remaining herb-oil mixture. Add the veggies and garlic halves to the bowl and toss well to coat. Arrange veggies on baking sheet alongside the chicken and onion wedges, as shown in photo below.
- Roast 40-45 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Serve with a big salad and buttermilk biscuits with butter! Mmm!
