About this Recipe

Craving a wholesome, satisfying meal that tastes like fall but won't tie you to the kitchen? This easy sheet-pan Maple-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Wedges and Brussels Sprouts recipe delivers a hearty dinner with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.

The magic of this dish lies in combining savory bone-in chicken thighs with the natural sweetness of maple syrup, fragrant fresh thyme, and robust vegetables like sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Roasting everything together on one pan ensures even cooking, streamlines cleanup, and allows all the flavors to meld beautifully, creating a harmonious and comforting experience with every bite.

Prepare for tender, juicy chicken thighs that boast a deep, savory flavor, perfectly complemented by naturally sweet and caramelized sweet potato wedges. The Brussels sprouts emerge from the oven with delightful crispy edges and a tender interior, adding a pleasant earthiness to the plate. Each bite offers a harmonious balance of sweet maple and fragrant thyme, while the toasted pecans lend a satisfying crunch and the dried cranberries provide a welcome burst of tartness. This is a complete, hearty dinner that feels both comforting and elegant, making it ideal for any weeknight.

Customization & Variations

Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup to your sweetness preference, or swap the fresh thyme for a different robust herb like rosemary or sage. The chopped pecans can be replaced with walnuts or slivered almonds for a similar crunch, or omitted entirely if you prefer. Likewise, the dried cranberries add a burst of tartness, but dried cherries or golden raisins would also work beautifully, or you can simply leave them out.

This dish is a true autumn and winter favorite, perfect for a cozy family dinner or a relaxed gathering. It stands alone as a complete, hearty meal, requiring no additional sides.
