Boneless chicken thighs are rubbed with ground turmeric, fragrant cumin, garlic, and cold-pressed olive oil, then roasted alongside a rainbow of sweet bell peppers, red onion wedges, and tender zucchini.

🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1
    Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line an extra-large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2
    Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon zest, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. 3
    Step 3: Add chicken thighs, zucchini slices, bell peppers, and onion wedges to the bowl. Toss thoroughly until everything is evenly coated in the golden spice blend.
  4. 4
    Step 4: Spread the chicken and vegetables out into a single, spacious layer on the prepared baking sheet (avoid overlapping so veggies roast rather than steam).
  5. 5
    Step 5: Roast for 22-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F) and vegetable edges are caramelized. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything and scatter fresh herbs before serving.
💡 Chef's Insider Tip: Always roast at high heat (425°F). The intense dry heat quickly caramelizes the natural sugars in the onions and peppers while locking moisture into the chicken thighs.
