Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, cumin, salt, cinnamon, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a marinade.

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

On a sheet pan, arrange the carrots, red bell pepper, red onion, and cauliflower florets. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and season with salt.

Place the marinated chicken thighs on the sheet pan with the vegetables.

Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing the chicken.

Serve the chicken and vegetables with Greek yogurt and chopped dill pickles on the side.
