20. ### Step-by-Step Instructions:
22. #### Preparing the Chicken:
23. 1. **Seasoning**: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
24. 2. **Marinating**: In a small bowl, mix lemon juice and minced garlic. Rub this mixture all over the chicken thighs to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to several hours in the refrigerator.
26. #### Preparing Veggies:
27. 1. **Peeling and Dicing**: Wash and peel the potatoes if you haven't already. Cube them into roughly uniform pieces.
28. 2. **Trimming Carrots**: Trim the baby carrots, halving them lengthwise if they are large.
30. #### Cooking Process:
31. 1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
32. 2. **Oil and Seasoning**: Place a large baking sheet or roasting pan in the oven. Once heated, coat it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
33. 3. **Baking Chicken**: Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Arrange them skin-side up on the hot baking tray. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
35. #### Cooking Vegetables:
36. 1. **Sautéing**: While the chicken bakes, heat a small amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
37. 2. **Adding Veggies**: Add the cubed potatoes and baby carrots to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
38. 3. **Stirring and Cooking**: Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown.
40. #### Final Assembly:
41. 1. **Combining Ingredients**: Once the chicken is done and the vegetables are nicely caramelized, remove everything from the oven.
42. 2. **Adding Lemon Zest**: Sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken and vegetables for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
43. 3. **Garnishing**: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
45. #### Serving:
46. Serve your Crispy Lemon Chicken Thighs with Potatoes and Baby Carrots immediately, while everything is still warm and crispy. Enjoy this delicious, healthy meal!
