Moroccan Orange Sheet Pan Chicken

chicken thighs

red onion (thinly sliced)

carrots

orange

green onions (white and green parts sliced 1/2-inch thick)

garlic

Medjool dates (finely chopped)

ginger

olive oil

cumin seeds

coriander

salt

red chili flakes

cilantro

Preheat oven to 450 (230C) degrees.

Arrange the chicken on a large rimmed baking sheet.

Add the red onion, carrots, orange, green onions, garlic, dates and ginger to the chicken. Pour over the olive oil and sprinkle everything with the cumin, coriander, salt, and chili.

Toss well with your hands so that all the ingredients are evenly coated with the oil and spices (go ahead and use tongs if you don't want to touch the raw chicken).  Space the chicken and vegetables so they are in a flat, even layer.

Roast 22-25 minutes. The orange should be charred in spots, the carrots tender and the chicken nicely golden brown and cooked through.

Squeeze the orange wedges with tongs, or press on them with the back of a spoon to release their juices. Sprinkle the cilantro over and serve.
