To Make:
First, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Lay out your tilapia fillets out on a baking sheet, along with your sliced zucchini strips (meaning: zucchini cut in length-wise strips).
Next, add diced peppers and green onions (red onions are also delish) over the top of the fillets.
Drizzle on extra virgin olive oil (salt and pepper, if you’d like) and bake for approximately 20 minutes or so, or until the tilapia is fork-flake tender.
Remove it from the oven and serve hot.
I like to serve mine with Jasmine rice, but you can serve it alongside your favorite carb. Enjoy!
