Notes:

  • You can cook starchy and/or non-starchy vegetables at the same time for a one-pan meal and allow for easy clean up.
  • If tilapia is frozen, it does not need to be defrosted before cooking. However, if you want a thicker topping, you will want to defrost the tilapia first.
  • After baking, you can broil the tilapia on high for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the topping to brown a little.
