The vegetables' natural sweetness caramelizes during roasting, creating a delightful symphony of flavors.

The second recipe, a refreshing mango salsa, offers a tropical twist to complement the tilapia and crabmeat. Fresh, ripe mangoes, diced and combined with red onion, cilantro, and a hint of jalapeno, create a vibrant salsa that bursts with flavor. Its sweetness and acidity perfectly balance the richness of the tilapia and crabmeat, creating a delightful culinary experience.
