For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in the maple syrup mixture for at least 30 minutes before roasting.
If you don't have fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme can be substituted.
Feel free to add other vegetables to the mix, such as carrots or parsnips.
To ensure even cooking, make sure the sweet potato wedges and Brussels sprouts are all roughly the same size.
If the Brussels sprouts start to get too dark during roasting, you can tent the pan with foil.

    My family devoured this! So easy to make, and cleanup was a breeze.

  • Talia Pfannerstill

    Great recipe for a weeknight meal! I substituted the pecans with walnuts because that's what I had on hand, and it still tasted amazing.

  • Geovany Torphy

    I've made this several times now, and it's always a hit. I sometimes add a dash of smoked paprika to the chicken for extra flavor.

  • Rylee Jaskolski

    This recipe is a game-changer! The maple glaze is divine, and the cranberries add the perfect pop.

  • Demond Batz

    I was a bit skeptical about the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts together, but they work so well in this dish!
