Instructions

Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, mix lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, honey (if using), olive oil, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Assemble the Sheet Pan
Arrange chicken and vegetables on the sheet pan. Pour the lemon marinade over everything and toss well to coat evenly.

Roast
Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning vegetables halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are golden and tender.
