Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius (fan-forced). Combine the maple syrup, thyme, pepper and 1tsp oil in a small bowl.

Turn the chicken and veg over. Brush with maple syrup mixture. Roast for 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and sweet potato is tender. Sprinkle with pecan and cranberries to serve.
