- 2 tablespoons dried onion flakes
- 1 ⅓ tablespoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 kg chicken thighs
- 8 cups mini potatoes (halved)

- 4 red onion (havled and cut into thin wedges)
- 1 ½ teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 8 cups green beans (trimmed fresh or frozen)
- 2 heads cauliflower (chopped into small florets)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine the poppy seeds, sesame seeds, garlic powder, dried onion flakes and sea salt. Spread the everything bagel spice over a plate and press the chicken into it to create a thick crust.
- Place potatoes, zucchini, onion with the oil in a large roasting pan. Season well with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and place in the oven.
- Using tongs, move the chicken pieces to a separate baking tray, arranging them in an even layer and drizzle with oil. Cover the tray with tin foil, then pop it in the oven.
- After 25 minutes add green beans and cauliflower and toss to combine. Roast for a further 5-10 minutes or until vegetables are golden and tender.
- Serve roasted vegetables with the cooked chicken thighs.
Recipe Notes
- Stovetop: Instead of baking it, heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve it with: Veggies, sweet potato, quinoa, kale or on top of a salad.
- No chicken thighs: Use turkey or chicken breasts instead.
- Leftovers: Freeze in an air-tight container.
- Spice it up: For a flavour change sprinkle cumin over the cauliflower before baking.
