Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken Dinner

Sheet Pan Salmon and Bell Pepper Dinner is a fast, healthy, and flavorful meal made in one pan with minimal cleanup. Fresh salmon fillets are seasoned with lemon, garlic, olive oil, and herbs, then roasted alongside sliced bell peppers (and optional extras like red onion or zucchini) until perfectly cooked and slightly caramelized. Ideal for busy weeknights, meal prep, or anyone craving a heart-healthy, protein-rich dinner with bright, Mediterranean flair. Serve with lemon wedges, fresh parsley, or a dollop of tzatziki.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons harissa sauce divided
  • 4 5 ounce bone-in chicken thighs, or more to taste
  • 8 ounces multicolored carrots peeled, halved lengthwise and crosswise
  • 8 ounces cauliflower florets
  • 8 ounces baby potatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon grated orange zest

Equipment

  • Large rimmed sheet pan
  • Knife & cutting board
  • Measuring cups & spoons
  • Mixing bowls
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 10x15-inch baking pan with foil.
  2. Spoon 1 teaspoon harissa sauce under the skin of each chicken thigh, then transfer to the prepared pan. Spread carrots, cauliflower, and potatoes around chicken; drizzle evenly with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 40 to 50 minutes, stirring the vegetables halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  4. Stir together parsley, garlic, and orange zest in a small bowl.
  5. To serve, toss vegetables with remaining 2 teaspoons harissa sauce and sprinkle with parsley mixture.
