INGREDIENTS

2 medium chicken drumsticks

1 cup butternut squash

0.25 cup cooked jasmine rice

0 tbsp olive oil

0.5 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp dried thyme

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut the flesh into 1-inch cubes.

• 3

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken drumsticks and butternut squash cubes.

• 4

  Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper, tossing thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.

• 5

  Arrange the chicken and squash in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces to ensure they roast rather than steam.

• 6

  Roast in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the squash halfway through, until the chicken skin is golden and crisp and the squash is tender.

• 7

  Verify the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F using a meat thermometer.

• 8

  Serve the hot roasted chicken and caramelized squash over the warm jasmine rice.
