- Garlic, minced
- Ground ginger

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or grease with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs on the sheet pan. Drizzle marinade over chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes if possible.
- Add Vegetables and Pineapple: Arrange bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks around chicken. Drizzle remaining marinade over the vegetables and pineapple.
- Roast the Dinner: Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and vegetables are tender. Toss the vegetables and pineapple halfway through cooking.
- Serve: Remove from the oven. Squeeze lime juice over the chicken and veggies, garnish with cilantro, and serve.
Notes
- Protein Swap: Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts, shrimp, or tofu. Adjust cooking times accordingly.
- Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with portobello mushrooms, sweet potatoes, or chickpeas.
- Different Vegetables: Add zucchini, snap peas, or carrots for variety.
- Sweetness Level: Adjust sweetness with more honey or maple syrup; for tangier flavor, add more lime juice or apple cider vinegar.
