Tilapia, broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, and carrots all baked in one pan in under 20 minutes. This quick sheet pan dinner is healthy and loaded with the flavors of garlic and spices.
One pan dinners have become a must around here. Who has time to make multiple dishes and spend all day preparing dinner? This flavorful tilapia and veggie sheet pan dinner is a must try. It’s packed with garlic, olive oil, and spices and comes together in just a few minutes and bakes very fast too.
Frozen or fresh tilapia works but the tilapia must be defrosted before baking. For the veggies, I used broccoli, asparagus, zucchini and baby carrots but any other veggies such as onion, tomatoes, thinly sliced sweet potatoes, brussels sprouts or par-boiled potatoes will also work.
This tasty mix of fish and veggies is great for meal prepping too! To meal prep, the fish and veggies, cook 1 cup of your favorite rice according to package directions then divide it into 4 meal prep containers. Top the rice with veggies and enjoy this tasty meal all week-long!

Very good. I used Fresh Flounder.
This was really good. I did add more veggies as I haven’t had my quota in quiet some time. Just Spectacular!
Naturally I made a few changes simply because I rarely follow a recipe exactly. I didn’t have parsley, so I used dill. I also double the veggies and implemented your suggestion to include thinly sliced sweet potatoes – perfection! Naturally, I had to use two sheet pans. I highly recommend this recipe to anyone and everyone! You cannot go wrong! Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful recipe!
Hey Patricia, naturally Pat, those changes were so natural. And naturally this natural recipe is naturally delicious.
Four stars for ease of preparation. Taste was good, but it might need a bit of salt or chili powder, if you are leaving salt in the cupboard. The heat of the chili powder will punch up the flavour. You might want to pre-bake the carrots for 15 minutes because they were still crunchy (or slice them very thin). Overall the meal xame together very quickly and was tasty enough to make again.
too bland for us. I should have doubled the seasoning blend. My kids said it was dry and bland. I would definitely make again, just make more seasoning to pour over the fish and veggies next time.
hello. there are nutrition guide?? why
Made this tonight and the tilapia was cooked perfectly. Thanks for the recipe!
how many calories per serving does the recipe have.
This was delicious! I made double for dinner and then a couple lunches. I used RICEd cauliflower to keto the carbs LOWer.
How long will leftovers last in the refrigerator? (SOrry for the Caps, my laptop is stuck on that feature)
Excellent! Was able to get my husband to eat this with no problems! He loved it! I added cauliflower and kale. It was delicious! Thank you!
