Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment or lightly oil the surface for easier cleanup.
In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth — this is your glaze.
Place diced sweet potatoes on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread in a single layer.
Arrange chicken thighs on the remaining space of the baking sheet, patting them dry for better browning.
Brush half of the glaze over the chicken thighs. Reserve the remaining glaze.
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Add green beans to the sheet, tucking them around the chicken and sweet potatoes. Brush remaining glaze over everything.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
Remove from oven, sprinkle with parsley, and let chicken rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–15 minutes.
