Prep 15 min · Cook 35 min

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Pat the raw chicken drumsticks thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure the skin roasts to a golden crisp.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, dried oregano, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the dried drumsticks, peeled and chopped sweet potatoes, and peeled and chopped carrots onto the prepared sheet pan.
Drizzle the lemon-herb marinade over the chicken and vegetables, then toss with your hands until every piece is well-coated.
Arrange the ingredients in a single layer, making sure the chicken drumsticks have space around them to roast properly rather than steam.
Roast in the center of the oven for 35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the sweet potatoes and carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving warm.
