tips & techniques
Start the potatoes & kohlrabi
1 Start the potatoes & kohlrabi

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. Cut off the top and bottom of the kohlrabi to create a flat surface; using a knife, cut down along the curve of the kohlrabi to remove the green skin. Halve lengthwise; if present, remove the core, then cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick pieces. Transfer to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and half the spice blend; toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 10 minutes. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. 

Prepare the remaining vegetables
2 Prepare the remaining vegetables

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Halve the tomatoes. Combine the prepared vegetables in a large bowl. Add the olives, capers, vinegar, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine.

Roast the vegetables
3 Roast the vegetables

Carefully add the seasoned vegetables to the sheet pan of partially roasted potatoes and kohlrabi; arrange in an even layer. Roast 7 to 9 minutes, or until slightly tender when pierced with a fork. Leaving the oven on, remove from the oven. 

Roast the fish & serve your dish
4 Roast the fish & serve your dish

Meanwhile, pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt, pepper, and enough of the remaining spice blend to coat (you may have extra). Carefully place the seasoned fish, skin side down, on top of the roasted vegetables. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, or until the vegetables are browned and tender when pierced with a fork and the fish is cooked through.* Serve the roasted fish over the roasted vegetables. Top with as much of the pesto as you’d like. Enjoy!

*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
