INGREDIENTS
1 chicken leg (7 oz / 198 g)
1 cup mixed root vegetables (approx. 150 g)
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 garlic clove
0.5 tsp dried thyme
0.5 tsp dried rosemary
Salt and pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Pat the chicken leg dry with paper towels. Rub the herb mixture all over the chicken leg, ensuring an even coating.
Place the chicken leg on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, toss the mixed root vegetables with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread the vegetables around the chicken leg on the baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to crisp up the chicken skin further.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
