Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and select a medium-size ovenproof dish. Roughly chop the zucchini into large bite-sized chunks. Quarter the tomatoes and bell pepper. Chop the chorizo into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the zucchini, bell pepper, tomato, and chorizo in the baking dish. Finely chop the rosemary and sprinkle over the chorizo and vegetables along with the garlic powder. Toss to combine.
    2.
    Nestle the chicken drumsticks in between the chorizo and vegetables. Season everything well with salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice evenly over the chicken, chorizo, and vegetables.
    3.
    Transfer the dish to the oven to bake for 35-40 minutes. The chicken should be completely cooked through, and the skin crisp and golden. The vegetables should be soft and caramelized. Divide between four serving plates and serve hot with your preferred Keto sides and a drizzle of the pan juices. Perfect with cauliflower rice or a hearty Mediterranean salad.
