This Chive and Walnut Pesto can be used in so many ways. Freeze it for up to 6 months.

 

Tips for Easier (and fun) Ways to Make Meals at Home:

  • Keep your pantry nicely stocked with healthy non-perishable items such as: dried or low sodium canned beans, canned tomatoes, tomato sauces, whole grains (pasta, brown rice)
  • Don't have the time for homemade meals every night? Try batch cooking or meal prep on a day you have time before the busy work week. For more on batch cooking and meal prep click here.
  • Pick seasonal items! This makes it fun for families to try a new produce item during its peak time.
  • Get everyone involved. Not only is eating a meal together more enjoyable, so is having extra help in the kitchen!

Tilapia Sheetpan Dinner Recipe

This sheetpan dinner could not be easier. Just like a crockpot, there is very little cleanup and only one cooking method used. In this recipe, simply make the pesto ahead of time, arrange your ingredients, and bake.  Leftover pesto can be freezed for up to 6 months in an airtight (freezer-safe) container. Use leftover pesto in your favorite pasta, salads, as a spread, and marinades for other meats, fish, or tofu.

If you prefer other fish or meat items for this recipe, make sure to have the proper cooking time and temperature. The fennel can easily be roasted longer, just continue checking the meal at least halfway through cooking time. For this recipe, I turned over the vegetables halfway to allow even cooking and browning.
