Ingredients:

For the chicken marinade:

• 1 lb chicken (thighs or breast)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1-2 tbsp Tandoori Twist

• 1 tsp lemon or lime juice

• 1 tsp salt

For the vegetables:

• 2-3 cups mixed vegetables (cauliflower, red onion, broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, sweet potatoes)

• 2-3 tbsp olive oil

• 2 tsp Simpli Spiced Tandoori Twist

• 1 tsp salt

• fresh lemon or lime juice & cilantro for garnishing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix chicken with the marinade ingredients until well coated. Let sit for at least 20-30 minutes (up to overnight).

3. Prepare the vegetables: Toss vegetables of choice with olive oil, Tandoori Twist, salt/pepper directly onto a parchment line sheet pan and spread evenly.

4. Assemble the sheet pan: Add the marinated chicken, spacing everything out in a single layer.

5. Roast: Bake 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

6. Finish and serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and garnish with cilantro before serving.

Vegetarian Option: Tandoori Roasted Chickpeas & Vegetables

Instructions

Swap the chicken for 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained, rinsed, and dry well. Toss with olive oil, Tandoori Twist, salt and lime juice with rest of vegetables of choice directly on sheet pan.

Cooking Tips

• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give everything space so it roasts, not steams. Use two pans if needed.

• Use thighs for more flavor: Chicken thighs stay tender and flavorful, but breast works too—just don’t overcook.

• Coat well: Make sure everything is evenly coated with oil + Tandoori Twist for full flavor.

• Yogurt marinade: Can add 3 tbsp of yogurt to marinate the chicken.

Simple Pairings

• Serve over warm rice or quinoa to make it a full meal

• Add a side of naan or flatbread

• Finish with a squeeze of lime or lemon for brightness

• Drizzle with a quick raita (cooling yogurt sauce for a creamy contrast)

• Pair with sangria or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
