Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes and apple wedges. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- 3Spread the sweet potato and apple mixture in a single layer on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
- 4While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped rosemary, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- 5Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Push the sweet potatoes and apples to one side. Add the chicken thighs to the other side of the baking sheet. Brush half of the maple glaze over the chicken and half over the sweet potatoes and apples. Toss the vegetables gently to coat.
- 6Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue to roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken thighs?
Yes, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs can be used, but they may require a longer cooking time (around 30-35 minutes after adding to the pan) and will have higher fat content. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
What type of sweet potatoes are best?
Any common variety of sweet potato works well. For best results, ensure they are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes so they cook evenly.
Can I prepare this ahead of time?
You can chop the sweet potatoes and apples and prepare the glaze a day in advance. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Assemble and roast just before serving.
