Preheat oven to 425 degrees and make sure baking rack is in the center of the oven.
Remove giblets (if present) from inside chicken. Rinse and dry chicken and place breast side down on large baking pan on top of a rack.
Rub about 3 Tbsp of avocado oil on all sides of the chicken, followed by the minced garlic.
Next rub the dried herbs all over the chicken and make sure it is breast side down.
Place the chopped veggies all around the chicken and drizzle with remaining avocado oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper all around veggies.
Roast for approximately 1 hour to 1 hour & 15 minutes depending on chicken size but also use a thermometer to make sure it’s at least 165.
Serve with the roasted veggies and enjoy! This
Dill Chicken Salad
or
Avocado Chicken soup
are excellent ways to enjoy the leftovers!
Notes
*the rack is important to help air flow circulate around chicken. If you don’t have a rack, you can stagger carrots and celery to keep the bird from resting directly on the pan.
