If your garden or CSA share is overrun with tomatoes and zucchini then look no further! Roasting late summer veggies with olive oil, rosemary, sea salt and fresh whole garlic cloves is one of my favorite ways to enjoy them. The chicken thighs will render down as they roast on top of the veg bringing more depth of flavor to the dish! And of course the addition of chicken thighs to this class vegetable dish makes it a complete one-stop meal!
This recipe calls for paleo mayo. You can make your own at home; it’s super simple. My favorite store bought brands are Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods (we get this at Costco!).
Roasting everything on one pan not only cuts down on dishes (YAY) but also allows all the flavors to dance together in the most delightful way.
