Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 2 medium Carrots
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 whole Lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and carrots into evenly-sized pieces for roasting. Place them in a large mixing bowl along with the broccoli florets.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.
Pour the sesame-ginger mixture over the vegetables and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for the tilapia fillets.
Season the tilapia fillets on both sides with salt and black pepper. Drizzle them with olive oil and place them alongside the vegetables on the baking sheet.
Roast the tilapia and vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the tilapia fillets halfway through. The tilapia should be opaque and flaky, and the vegetables should be tender with lightly caramelized edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the tilapia and vegetables for a bright, fresh flavor.
Sprinkle sesame seeds over the roasted vegetables as a garnish.
Serve the tilapia alongside the ginger sesame roasted vegetables and enjoy immediately.
