Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), chopped
  • 1 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, toss together zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and minced garlic in olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. While the veggies are roasting, bring vegetable broth to a boil in a saucepan. Add couscous, cover tightly, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about five minutes to absorb the liquid.
  5. Fluff the couscous with a fork and gently fold in the roasted vegetables along with parsley and lemon juice.
