1
Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Toss the vegetables with half the oil and spread on a large tray. Roast 15 minutes.
3
Rub the chicken with the remaining oil, oregano and paprika and add to the tray.
4
Roast 20–25 minutes more, until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are soft. Squeeze over the lemon.
