Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the Oven: Set it to 400°F (200°C) because roasted perfection requires a little heat and patience.

- Prep the Veggies: In a bowl, combine sweet potatoes, onion, and bell pepper with olive oil, rosemary, smoked paprika, and lemon juice.
- Assemble the Pan: Spread veggies evenly on the baking sheet. Nestle the marinated “chicken” pieces on top like they own the place.
- Roast: Bake for 20 minutes. Flip everything, then roast another 15 minutes until golden and caramelized.
- Serve & Shine: Garnish with parsley and a squeeze of lemon. Serve hot and accept compliments gracefully.
