# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
03 - Add chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat evenly with the herb mixture. Remove drumsticks and set aside on a clean plate.
04 - Add potatoes, carrots, and red onion to the remaining marinade in the bowl. Toss until all vegetables are well coated.
05 - Spread coated vegetables in a single layer across the prepared sheet pan. Nestle seasoned drumsticks on top of the vegetables.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn drumsticks and stir vegetables. Roast until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F, and vegetables are fork-tender.
