Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2
In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes and broccoli florets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and paprika (if using). Spread them in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
3
Roast the vegetables for 15 minutes while you prepare the fish.
4
In a shallow dish, combine panko breadcrumbs, lemon zest, chopped parsley, dried oregano, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
5
Pat tilapia fillets dry. Brush each side of the fillets with a little lemon juice, then press them into the panko mixture to coat evenly.
6
After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange the crusted tilapia fillets on the other half of the baking sheet.
7
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
8
Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different type of fish?

Yes, any firm white fish like cod, snapper, or flounder would work well with this recipe. Adjust cooking time slightly based on thickness.

How can I make the breading stick better?

Ensure your fish fillets are patted very dry before brushing with lemon juice. You can also lightly dredge them in flour first, then egg wash, then the panko mixture for an extra crispy crust.

What other vegetables can I use?

Brussels sprouts, carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini would all be delicious additions or substitutions. Adjust roasting times as needed for different vegetables.
