How To Make Sheet Pan Tilapia with Vegetables
- Using a paper towel, pat-dry your tilapia fillets.
- Chop up your broccoli, zucchini and onion in large pieces.
- Place your vegetables in the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice (preferably from a freshly squeezed lemon). Generously season your vegetables with salt, ground black pepper, tajin, granulated garlic and paprika. Toss your vegetables to ensure your seasonings combine well. Make sure to save half of your seasoning mixture to season the tilapia.
- Move your vegetables aside to make room for the tilapia. Place your tilapia fillets on the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Season generously with the rest of your salt, ground black pepper, tajin, granulated garlic and paprika on both sides. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Place your covered sheet pan into a 400 degree preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the aluminum foil cover and raise the temperature to 450 degrees. Bake at 450 degrees for 3-5 minutes.
- Your healthy sheet pan tilapia and vegetables meal is ready to be served.
Can I prepare this meal ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, I encourage it. Simply prepare and season your tilapia and vegetables in your sheet pan. Cover your sheet pan meal and refrigerate overnight. Once you are ready to cook, just remove it from the refrigerator and bake as the instructions above indicate.
What if I don’t have Tajin seasoning?
If you can’t find Tajin at your local grocery store, don’t sweat it. Tajin is a blend of mild chili peppers, lime and sea salt. I like using it because it gives food an amazing flavor. You may substitute Tajin with regular chili powder. I promise it will not compromise the overall taste of this dish.
