Ingredients

• 1 cup Couscous
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Vegetable broth (optional, for added flavor)
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 medium Carrot, peeled and diced
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 cup Hummus, for serving
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and carrot. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 3

Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 4

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the couscous. In a medium saucepan, bring the water or vegetable broth (if using) to a boil. Remove from heat, stir in the couscous, cover, and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the couscous with a fork before serving.

Step 5

To assemble, divide the fluffy couscous onto plates or into bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables and add a dollop of hummus on the side.

Step 6

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
