Savor the succulent chicken thighs paired with perfectly roasted cauliflower, seasoned to perfection. A dish that's as healthy as it is delicious, perfect for any night of the week.
For a perfectly crispy skin, pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels before seasoning. To elevate the flavor, marinate the thighs for at least one hour prior to cooking in your choice of herbs and spices—garlic, rosemary, and lemon zest work beautifully. When roasting the cauliflower, ensure the florets are uniform in size for even cooking and toss them in olive oil with a touch of sea salt and cracked black pepper. For a caramelized finish, spread the cauliflower in a single layer without overcrowding the pan. Consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cumin to the cauliflower for a subtle smoky aroma. If you have the time, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes post-baking to let the juices redistribute, ensuring each bite is succulent. For a splash of color and freshness, garnish the dish with freshly chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving. Adjust the seasoning to taste and remember, the oven's hot spots can vary, so rotate the pan halfway through cooking for an even roast.
