How to Make It
So, here’s how it goes down. You fling a bunch of veggies (whatever’s lounging in the crisper, you know the ones) and some chicken on a sheet pan. Drench it all in a mix of your favorite spices. If you’re over-ambitious like me, add a sprinkle of extra herbs you found lying around. Toss it with your hands because that’s just the easiest, and honestly, it makes you feel a bit like a witch mixing her potion. Shove everything into a hot oven and let it do its thing. It’s practically foolproof – unless you forget about it and binge-watch an entire series (not speaking from experience, but… yeah, maybe).
Ingredient Notes
– Chicken: It’s kind of the star here, so don’t skip it. If you do, it becomes a vegetarian dish. Still good, but different vibe.
– Veggies: Anything works – carrots, broccoli, bell peppers. Just make sure they’re roughly the same size so they cook evenly.
– Seasonings: I like to pretend I’m a spice fairy. Paprika, garlic powder – usual suspects go in. Once I accidentally added cinnamon. Never again.

Tips & Mistakes
Storage Tips
Alright, so here’s the lowdown on leftovers: store ’em in a trusty airtight container and they’ll be golden for about 3 days in the fridge. Sometimes I eat it cold straight from the container (lazy vibes), and surprisingly, it ain’t half bad. I’ve even been known to slap it between two pieces of bread for a midnight snack. Zero judgment here.
Variations and Substitutions
Let’s get real: sometimes you’re out of soy sauce or maple syrup, or in desperate need for a grocery run. Swap things around! Honey’s a good stand-in for sugar if you’re feeling sweeter. Need to skip a veggie? Just go with whatever you’ve got — zucchini, snap peas. Seriously, anything that roasts well will work. Once I even threw in some leftover sweet potato. Boom – new favorite.
