2 tablespoons maple syrup
-
1 tablespoon snipped fresh thyme
-
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
-
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
-
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
-
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges

Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 10x15-inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, thyme, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set the mixture aside.
-
In a large bowl, toss sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
-
Brush the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in the center of the prepared pan and arrange the sweet potato mixture around it.
-
Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip the chicken, then brush the chicken, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts with the maple syrup mixture.
-
Continue roasting until the sweet potatoes are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately another 15 minutes. The chicken should no longer be pink in the center and juices should run clear.
-
For the final touch, sprinkle the roasted dish with pecans and cranberries before serving.
