Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and olive oil to make the glaze.
Place the chicken thighs on the sheet pan and season them lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange the pineapple chunks, sliced bell peppers, and red onion around the chicken.
Drizzle the glaze evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Toss the veggies lightly to coat them in the glaze.
Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
For extra crispiness, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño to the glaze.

For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for tofu or tempeh.

Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or mushrooms for variety.
