Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Add sweet potatoes to the sheet pan. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Roast for 15 minutes.
  • While the sweet potatoes roast, pat the chicken dry. Toss in a medium bowl with remaining olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, turmeric (if using), remaining salt, and pepper.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Push sweet potatoes to one side, add chicken and broccoli to the pan, spreading everything out in an even layer. Drizzle remaining ½ tablespoon of olive oil over the broccoli and season with salt and pepper.
  • Return to the oven and roast for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender with crisp edges.
  • Squeeze fresh lemon over everything, sprinkle with parsley or flaky salt if desired, and serve warm.
