Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 12 oz halved okra and 6 pieces (cut into thirds) corn on the cob with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread on a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Meanwhile, pat dry 4 catfish fillets (6 oz each) and rub all over with a mixture of 2 tbsp cajun seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1 tbsp lemon juice, drizzling remaining 1 tbsp olive oil on top.
Step 3: After 15 minutes, remove the sheet pan from the oven and push the vegetables to the sides. Place the seasoned catfish fillets in the center and return to the oven for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
