Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Coat the chicken with this marinade and set aside.
  2. Peel and cube sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until coated.
  3. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  4. Arrange marinated chicken thighs and seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the tray. Roast for about 30 minutes.
  5. Halfway through, flip the chicken and baste with remaining marinade. Continue cooking until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and sweet potatoes are caramelized.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving in bowls. Garnish with fresh herbs or greens if desired.
