This meal is wonderful. I love love love it.

The veggies take the longest to cook but it very easy and not much clean up so it’s worth it!

This meal can be Paleo, gluten free, or not gluten free depending on your preference.  To make this meal gluten free use the Gluten Free Pecan Crusted Bread Crumbs from Trader Joe’s (of course).  If not you can use the traditional “shake and bake” bread crumb approach (you don’t actually have to use shake and bake. You can use whatever type of bread crumbs you like. But you should use the thick kind to make is “crusted”).

Here is what you need:

1. 2 pieces of Tilapia (or however many people you’re preparing this for)
2. Your choice of bread crumbs (we used shake and bake)
3. garlic powder + salt + pepper + Brady Street cheese mix ( you can buy it in WI so get on the next plane ;))
4. 2 Sweet Potatoes
5. 1 TBS butter
6. 2 TBS Brown Sugar
7. 1/4 TBS Cumin + salt + pepper
8. 1 Pounds of Brussels Sprouts
9. Parmesan Cheese (optional)

Here is what you do:

1. Preheat oven to 425 🙂
2. Start off by cutting your sweet potatoes. Melt your butter and cover your sweet potatoes in it. I put them in a bowl, pour the butter over, and shake shake shake.  Next I add my brown sugar, cumin, salt and pepper.
3. Then cut your Brussels sprouts in half. Put in a bowl and add about 2 TBS of EVOO + salt + pepper + garlic powder.  Again, shake it up to coat the BP evenly with the oil and seasonings
4. Place both on a large cookie sheet side by side and bake for 30-40 minutes.
5. About 15 minutes before your veggies are done start preparing your tilapia
6. Typically they will tell you to bake this but I fried it on a cast iron skillet and it was AAAAAMAAAZING
7. Warm your cast iron skillet (on MED) and place 2 TBS of EVOO or Canola Oil on the Skillet.
8. While it’s warming place your fish in your bag of bread crumbs + garlic powder + salt + Pepper and what ever else you LOVE to season meat with. I used Brady Street Cheese seasoning my Uncle got me for Christmas and it was amazing.
9. Shake it up real good  (or follow instructions on the back of the bread crumbs container)
10. OPTIONAL : ADD PARMESAN CHEESE TO THE TOP OF FISH
11. Place on cast iron skillet for 3-5 minutes on both sides of fish

Once your fish and veggies are done serve it up & enjoy 🙂

Hope you love this as much as we did 🙂

Love,
