Why it works
- Tree nut allergy: No nuts in the glaze, the wedges or the pan, just maple, paprika and olive oil.
- Milk allergy: Nothing milky here; the glaze is maple syrup, garlic and olive oil.
- Wheat allergy: Chicken, sweet potato and spinach need no coating or breadcrumbs.
- Dairy-free: Olive oil does all the roasting and searing, no butter anywhere.
