02 - In a large bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, thyme, garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
03 - Add chicken drumsticks to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat evenly. Remove drumsticks and set aside.
04 - In the same bowl with remaining marinade, add potatoes, carrots, and red onion. Toss until well coated.
05 - Spread vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Arrange drumsticks on top of vegetables.
