INGREDIENTS LIST FOR THE ROASTED CHILI-LIME TILAPIA RECIPE

3 tilapia fillets (or any white fish, wild caught if possible)

1 large sweet potato, cut into fries (or 2 medium)

1 broccoli head, cut into florets

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (or juice of 2 limes)

1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

2 tablespoons olive oil + 2 for veggies

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon minced garlic (or 4 crushed garlic cloves)

1 teaspoons red chili flakes, or to taste

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and fresh cracked pepper

2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

1 small bird-eye pepper, sliced for garnish, optional

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (210°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.

2. Whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, water, garlic, lime juice, honey, chili flakes, chili powder, cumin and cilantro in a small bowl.

3. Place sweet potato fries and broccoli in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste, and mix well. Make some space for the white fish fillets and place tilapia in the reserved spaces. Brush fish with the chili-lime mixture.

4. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork and the broccoli begin to crisp up on the edges and have softened, about 20 – 25 minutes. Serve the baked tilapia garnished with cilantro, sliced chili peppers and lime wedges, if desired. Enjoy!
