# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - In a bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, sriracha, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt until combined.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry and place them in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, toss to coat evenly, and set aside to marinate while preparing vegetables.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss sliced red and yellow bell peppers, red onion wedges, broccoli florets, and zucchini slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
05 - Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables. Reserve the remaining marinade for later glazing.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
07 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade, then return it to the oven and roast for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
08 - Sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley and sesame seeds over the cooked chicken and vegetables before serving.
