Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove, half the chopped rosemary, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.
Step 3
Spread the seasoned butternut squash evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Set aside.

In the same bowl, add the chicken thighs, the remaining olive oil, 2 minced garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, honey, lemon juice, the remaining rosemary, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Rub the mixture well into the chicken.
Step 5
Arrange the chicken thighs on top of the butternut squash on the baking sheet.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken skin is golden and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
For additional caramelization, broil on high for 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
