Nothing says fall or family Sunday dinner like a delicious herb-roasted chicken atop some garlicky root vegetables. Roasting all the ingredients together melds flavors beautifully in this one-pan meal, and it makes the house smell wonderful. Garlic, sage, and tarragon bolster the clean flavor of snap peas, a fresh addition to the earthy flavor of roast chicken, and a way to brighten up the taste of fall. For a moist, tender meat and a crisp, golden brown skin, high-heat oven roasting is definitely the way to goat the end of cooking.
