Directions
- Toss the chicken with oil and a mix of paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, then spread it in a single layer on a prepared baking sheet.
- Whisk maple syrup, oil, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, and paprika in a bowl to form the glaze.
- Trim the cauliflower into florets and cut the stems into pieces; add them to the glaze for even coating.
- Quarter the mushrooms and fold them into the bowl with the vegetables, so everything gets a glossy coat.
- Spread the coated vegetables in a baking dish in an even layer and slide it into the oven.
- Roast the chicken on the sheet for 30–35 minutes, turning once, until cooked through and lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, trim the green onions and slice them into 1/4-inch pieces.
- When the vegetables are tender and coated, remove the dish from the oven and portion the chicken and veggie mix onto plates; sprinkle with green onions to finish.
- Serve as is, with the sauce from the pan spooned over the chicken and veggies if desired.
Two tips
- Prep by chopping the green onions and cauliflower stems ahead of time and refrigerating.
- For a quick serving option, finish with a drizzle of maple syrup or a splash of soy sauce before serving.
