Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
Zest of one lemon grated on a fine microplane or grater (reserve juice for other recipes)
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (you can substitute poultry seasoning or other spice or herb blend)
1/2 teaspoon salt (omit or reduce if spice blend includes salt)
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds mixed chicken parts bone-in (drumsticks, legs, thighs, and/or breasts)
4 medium russet potatoes cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound carrots cut into 2-inch pieces
8 cloves garlic peeled

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper (you can also use a bare sheet pan if you prefer).
In a small bowl, stir together the olive oil, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Spread out the chicken, potatoes, carrots and garlic on the sheet pan, then drizzle the oil mixture evenly over the chicken and potatoes.
Using your hands or a pair of tongs, flip and move the chicken and potatoes around until they are evenly coated. Put the chicken skin side up.
Place the sheet pan on the middle rack of the oven, and let roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken registers 165°F in the thickest part of the meat and the potatoes are tender. If your skin isn't quite crispy enough, put the tray under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin is crispy.
Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a serving dish, and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

To reduce the saturated fat, remove the skin from the chicken after baking.

Serve with a vegetable side like salad or steamed veggies.

There's no need to flip the chicken or vegetables as they bake, but if you're making more than the recipe calls for moving them halfway through will ensure even cooking.
