Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes cut into ¾-inch cubes
- 3 cups cauliflower florets cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 medium red onion chopped
- 1–1.25 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 teaspoons olive oil or avocado oil divided
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- ½ tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- ¼ cup hot honey plus more for topping
- ¼ cup crumbled feta plus more for topping
- 1 jalapeño sliced, optional
- ¼ cup chopped parsley or cilantro
- Avocado chunks for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan (half-sheet size works best) with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Combine all spices in a small bowl and mix well.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes, cauliflower florets, and chopped red onion with 3 teaspoons of olive oil. Sprinkle about ⅓ of the spice blend (around 4 teaspoons) over the veggies, ensuring an even coating. Spread in a single layer on your prepared sheet pan. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the edges begin to caramelize.
- While the veggies roast, place the chicken cubes into the same bowl you used for the veggies. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and toss with the remaining spice blend.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Move the veggies to one side and spread the seasoned chicken evenly on the empty space. Return it to the oven and roast for 10 minutes, tossing halfway through.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender, drizzle the hot honey evenly over everything. Sprinkle with feta and sliced jalapeños (if desired). Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp up the edges.
- Transfer to plates or meal prep containers. Garnish with fresh parsley, avocado chunks, and additional hot honey or feta, to taste. Serve warm or store for later!
