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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the sesame-ginger mixture over the vegetables and toss until all the pieces are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for the tilapia fillets.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the tilapia and vegetables for a bright, fresh flavor.

Step 9

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the roasted vegetables as a garnish.

Step 10

Serve the tilapia alongside the ginger sesame roasted vegetables and enjoy immediately.
