Ingredients
  

For the vegetables:

  • 1 lb potatoes sliced into wedges
  • 1 lb carrots halved
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 cup water

For the chicken:

  • 4 chicken leg quarters
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450F. Place potatoes and carrots in a large baking dish (large enough for 4 chicken leg quarters). Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Toss to coat everything evenly and spread evenly on the bottom of the dish. Add 1/4 cup of water.
  • In a small bowl, mix the mustard, maple syrup, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  • Pat the chicken legs dry and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken on top of the potatoes and carrots (do not submerge them in the water).
  • Brush the chicken quarters generously with the maple mustard sauce. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the vegetables. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. If the chicken is fully cooked but the vegetables do not feel fork-tender, remove the chicken and continue to roast vegetables until they are cooked. Sprinkle chicken with parsley before serving.
