Ingredients

1 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 2 pounds total), cut into wedges
1 large red onion, cut into wedges
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed
6 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds
kosher salt and black pepper
½ cup pesto

Directions

Heat oven to 400°F. Toss the chicken, potatoes, onion, chickpeas, garlic, oil, paprika, cumin, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet (leaving the chicken on top). Roast until the vegetables are tender and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a breast and thigh registers 165°F, 50 minutes to 1 hour, 10 minutes.
Serve the chicken and vegetables with the pesto.
