Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups couscous
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 medium bell pepper any color, diced
  • 1 medium red onion diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the diced zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  5. Once the vegetables are done, combine them with the cooked couscous in a large bowl. Toss gently to mix.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
