Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients during this time.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, red onion, red bell pepper, carrots, and chickpeas. Stir gently.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle in smoked paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the mixture evenly onto a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Broil for an additional 2 minutes for extra crispness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Let cool slightly before serving with tzatziki or white sauce on top.
