Steps:
- Sprinkle chicken with 1 tablespoon salt, and season with pepper. Stuff thyme under skin of breast and thighs and in cavity. Let chicken stand at least 1 hour (or refrigerate up to 24 hours, and bring to room temperature) before roasting.
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Place a baking dish or ovenproof skillet just large enough to fit chicken in oven 5 minutes. Pat chicken dry, then place breast side up in hot baking dish. Roast, rotating dish and basting once, until skin is golden and chicken is 160 degrees in the thickest part of thigh, 40 to 45 minutes. Let rest at least 15 minutes, then carve.
- Skim fat from juices in baking dish. Pour remaining juices (about 2 tablespoons) into a measuring cup; add oil to come to 1/4 cup. Whisk in lemon juice and vinegar. Add capers and 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper.
- Preheat broiler. Drizzle bread slices with oil. Toast until browned on both sides. While warm, rub with cut sides of garlic. Tear into bite-size pieces, and place in a bowl. Drizzle eggplant and peppers with oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread onto 2 rimmed baking sheets; broil about 8 inches from heat source until browned and tender, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cut into bite-size pieces, and add to bowl. Add Swiss chard, toss all together, pour on three-quarters of the dressing, and toss again. Transfer to a platter, and top with chicken. Serve remaining dressing on the side.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Prepare vegetables and spread on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, stir to coat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast 10 minutes.
- Whisk together olive oil through honey. Season to taste with salt and pepper and pour over hot roasted vegetables.

Tips:
- Choose the right vegetables. Root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes are all great choices for roasting. They're hearty and flavorful, and they hold their shape well when roasted.
- Roast the vegetables at a high temperature. This will help them to caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Toss the vegetables with olive oil and seasonings before roasting. This will help them to brown evenly and develop a nice crust.
- Roast the vegetables until they are tender but still have a little bit of bite. You don't want them to be mushy.
- Serve the roasted vegetables immediately. They're best when they're hot and fresh out of the oven.
