# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - In a bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, sriracha, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt together until well combined.

04 - In a separate bowl, combine sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, broccoli florets, and zucchini slices. Toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper evenly.
05 - Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly across the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables. Reserve the remaining marinade for glazing.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
07 - Remove the pan from oven, brush chicken thighs with reserved marinade, then return to oven and roast for an additional 5 to 7 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender.
