Xanthan Gum Free Sheet Pan Ginger-Scallion Chicken Dinner

Sheet pan dinners are a weeknight lifesaver, and this ginger-scallion version delivers serious flavor with almost no cleanup. Bone-in, skin-on chicken roasts alongside sweet potato, zucchini, and carrots until everything is caramelized and tender, while a bright glaze of coconut aminos, fresh ginger, honey, garlic, and turmeric does all the heavy lifting. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of xanthan gum — no thickeners, no stabilizers, no label-reading anxiety — because the glaze gets its body from real ginger and garlic rather than any additive. The trick of reserving a portion of the glaze and brushing it on in the final minutes gives the chicken that gorgeous, lacquered finish you'd expect from a much more complicated recipe. A squeeze of lime and a scatter of fresh scallion greens at the end cuts through the richness and makes the whole pan feel alive. This is the kind of meal that looks impressive enough for guests but is honestly easy enough to throw together on a Tuesday.
