Instructions
- Step: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Step: Cut potatoes in 1 inch cubes.
- Step: Peel and cut each carrot into 4 pieces. Peel the onion and slice it in half, cutting in large half circles.
- Step: Pat drumsticks dry with a paper towel. Place drumsticks on a lined cookie sheet, spreading them apart so there is space in between them.

- Step: Pour olive oil evenly across the chicken and potatoes, then sprinkle with spices.

- Step: Place the sheet pan in the middle rack of your oven and cook at 400 degrees for 1 hour.
- Step: If you want to get some extra crispiness on the tops of your drumsticks and vegetables, turn your oven to the broil setting and broil for 3-5 minutes once finished cooking. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Pat dry your chicken drumsticks and season them with a sprinkle of salt before placing on your cookie sheet, about 10 minutes. This will draw out some moisture and make for tender crispy chicken. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms and butternut squash.
