Enjoy a taste of the Caribbean with seasoned vegetables, tilapia, and pears, baked in no-fuss foil or parchment packets.
Ingredients
For the Carnival Roasted Potatoes:
- 2 small red potatoes
- 2 small Yukon potatoes
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1" chunks
- 1 cup green beans (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 Roma tomato, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons chopped white onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Tilapia Oven Packets:
- 1 pound tilapia fillets, fresh, or frozen (4-4-oz tilapia fillets)
- 1 tablespoon salt-free Caribbean citrus seasoning blend
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 D'Anjou pears (medium)
Directions
- Heat oven to 425 degF.
- Scrub potatoes under running water, cut into 1-inch chunks.
- In a large bowl, toss potatoes with other vegetables, seasonings, and olive oil. Spread mix in a 2-quart baking dish and place in oven.
- Roast until potatoes and other vegetables are tender, about 30-40 minutes.
- About 15 minutes after the potato dish was placed in the oven, put in a baking sheet with fish packets, prepared as follows:
- Brush fish with olive oil, coat with seasoning blend.
- Place each filet in the center of a square of aluminum foil (or substitute foil with parchment paper).
- Cut pears into quarters and core; slice into thin wedges (about 8-12 per pear). Top fish with pear wedges.
- Bring the foil over the fish and fruit. Fold and pinch the seams.
- Place foil packets on a baking sheet. Bake about 20 minutes, until tilapia is cooked to an internal temperature of 145degF, confirmed with a food thermometer, and fruit is tender.
- To serve, carefully open the packet, slide contents onto individual serving plates, and add roasted vegetables.
