Paleo Sheet Pan Ginger-Scallion Chicken Dinner

Bone-in, skin-on chicken roasted at high heat alongside sweet potato, carrots, and zucchini — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. The real star is the ginger-scallion glaze, built from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, and a touch of honey, which caramelizes into something deeply savory and a little sticky in the final minutes of roasting. Coconut aminos do all the heavy lifting that soy sauce would in a conventional recipe, so you get that umami depth without any grain-based ingredients sneaking in. Marinating the chicken first means the flavors penetrate all the way through, and brushing on the reserved glaze right at the end gives the skin that glossy, lacquered finish you'd expect from a much more complicated dish. Everything roasts together on a single pan, so cleanup is minimal and the vegetables pick up all those drippings and caramelized bits from the chicken as they cook. A squeeze of fresh lime and a scatter of scallion greens and cilantro at the end brighten the whole thing up beautifully. It's the kind of meal that makes eating clean feel genuinely exciting rather than like a compromise.
