16 - 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)

# Cooking Directions:

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 to make the sauce.
03 - Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
04 - Arrange 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 the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds, if using. Serve hot, with rice or quinoa if desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The honey garlic sauce creates this gorgeous sticky coating that clings to every piece of chicken and vegetable
  • You can prep everything in about fifteen minutes and then let the oven do all the heavy lifting
  • The colors on this pan are absolutely stunning, making it perfect for when you want dinner to look impressive without the effort
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or everything will steam instead of roast—use two pans if necessary so there is room between pieces
  • Stirring halfway through is nonnegotiable for even cooking and getting those nicely browned edges on multiple sides
  • The sauce will thin out in the oven but thicken again as it cools slightly, so let the pan rest for a couple minutes before serving
03 -
  • Cut all your vegetables into similar sizes so everything finishes cooking at the same time
  • If you like heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce—just a tiny bit makes it exciting without overwhelming the honey sweetness
