Ingredients

• 4 pieces Tilapia fillets
• 4 medium Sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 large Lemon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 3

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes.

Step 4

Place the sweet potato cubes onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Spread the sweet potatoes into a single layer on the baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15 minutes.

Step 6

While the sweet potatoes are roasting, prepare the tilapia seasoning by mixing garlic powder, paprika, oregano, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of pepper in a small bowl.

Step 7

Pat the tilapia fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush both sides of each fillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and evenly coat with the seasoning mixture.

Step 8

After the sweet potatoes have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and push the sweet potatoes to one side of the pan.

Step 9

Place the tilapia fillets on the other side of the baking sheet. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the tilapia is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The sweet potatoes should be tender and slightly caramelized at this point.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the tilapia and sweet potatoes.

Step 11

Cut the lemon into wedges and serve alongside the tilapia and sweet potatoes for a fresh citrus finish.
