This cumin chicken thighs with squash and fennel recipe is a vibrant and nutritious traybake that perfectly balances savoury, earthy and sweet notes. By roasting bone-in thighs alongside autumnal squash and fennel, the vegetables absorb the rich flavours of the chicken, while the addition of red grapes offers a surprising burst of juicy sweetness. It is a sophisticated yet simple way to bring a touch of warmth to your kitchen during the cooler months.
As a diabetes-friendly main course, this dish is naturally high in protein and provides a good source of fibre from the fresh vegetables. The use of aromatic spices like cumin and a hint of cayenne ensures a deep flavour profile without relying on excess salt or heavy sauces. Simply prepare the tray, pop it in the oven and finish with fresh mint for a light, fragrant dinner.

Ingredients for Sheet-Pan Cumin Chicken Thighs with Squash, Fennel, and Grapes
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 acorn or delicata squash (about 675g), halved lengthwise, seeded, cut into 1/4" half moons
1 fennel bulb (about 230g ), cut in half lengthwise, sliced into 1/4" wedges with core intact
230g seedless red grapes (about 240ml )
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs (about 900g )
1/4 cup torn fresh mint leaves
An 18x13" rimmed baking sheet
How to make Sheet-Pan Cumin Chicken Thighs with Squash, Fennel, and Grapes
Position rack in upper third of oven and preheat to 218°C. Mix brown sugar, cumin, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl. Toss squash, fennel, and grapes with oil and half of spice mixture on rimmed baking sheet and arrange in a single layer.
Rub chicken thighs with remaining spice mixture and arrange, skin side up, on top of fruit and vegetables. Roast until skin is browned and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 74°C, about 35 minutes; if chicken skin or vegetables start to burn, move pan to a lower rack to finish cooking.
Divide chicken, fruit, and vegetables among 4 plates and top with mint.
