Toss together to make sure everything is coated with the olive oil and roast for 18-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
2. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the tilapia filets to the pan, placing each one on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the Greek dressing over each of the tilapia filets, keeping a few tablespoons of the dressing aside for finishing the dish.
3. Put the baking sheet back in the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is done.
4. Once the tilapia is done, sprinkle the crumbled feta and diced olives over the entire pan and drizzle the tilapia with the leftover dressing. Serve each piece of tilapia along with the roasted vegetables and tzatziki on the side.
