Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of olive oil should I use for the roasted chicken and veggies?

A good quality extra virgin olive oil works best for roasting, as it adds flavor and helps the chicken and veggies crisp up nicely.

Can I substitute the chicken in the roasted chicken and veggies recipe with another protein?

Yes, you can substitute the chicken with turkey, tofu, or even chickpeas for a vegetarian option, but adjust the cooking time accordingly.

How can I ensure the veggies are perfectly roasted alongside the chicken?

Cut the veggies into uniform sizes and toss them with olive oil and herbs before placing them on the sheet pan; this ensures they cook evenly with the chicken.
