 Combine lemon zest and juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons ras el hanout, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a resealable plastic bag. Add chicken and coat with marinade, making sure marinade gets under the skin. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  Remove chicken from the refrigerator 20 minutes before baking and let come to room temperature.
  While the chicken is coming to room temperature, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 13x18-inch sheet pan with aluminum foil.
  Combine sweet potato, zucchini, chickpeas, and artichoke hearts in a bowl with remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ras el hanout, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until evenly combined.
  Remove chicken from marinade and place onto the prepared sheet pan. Place vegetable mixture around chicken.
  Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Stir vegetables, then continue to bake until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  Garnish with pomegranate seeds, parsley, and pistachios before serving.
