# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
02 - Whisk honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, sriracha, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt in a bowl until thoroughly blended.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry. Place them in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour half the marinade over. Toss to coat evenly. Let marinate at room temperature while preparing vegetables.
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 until coated.
05 - Spread the vegetables evenly over the lined baking sheet. Nestle marinated chicken thighs among the vegetables. Reserve remaining marinade for glazing.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
07 - Remove baking sheet. Brush chicken thighs with reserved marinade. Return to oven and roast an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender.
08 - Sprinkle chopped cilantro or parsley and sesame seeds over the dish before serving.
