🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is often less expensive.

paprika

🥗Healthier: smoked paprika

💰Cheaper: cayenne pepper

Cayenne provides heat without changing the dish's essence.

parsley

🥗Healthier: cilantro

💰Cheaper: green onions

Green onions are often cheaper and add freshness.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice the zucchini, bell peppers, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.

In a bowl, toss the vegetables with olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper.

Spread the vegetables evenly on the baking sheet.

Bake the vegetables for 15 minutes until they start to soften.

While the vegetables are baking, season the tilapia fillets with lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet and push the vegetables to the sides to make space for the tilapia.

Place the seasoned tilapia fillets in the center of the baking sheet.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
