Ingredients:

Serving

1 small zucchini, halved and cut into chunks
2 small red peppers, dice into large chunks
extra virgin olive oil , to taste
salt and pepper , to taste
1 1/2 cups couscous
2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbsp roughly chopped parsley
2 tbsp roughly chooped cilantro
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Place cut veggies on a baking sheet and drizzle with some olive oil (I use a brush and lightly paint them) and season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in oven and rast for about 10 minutes. Place couscous in a heat proof bowl and stir in all the spices and orange juice. Bring the begetable stock to a boil and pour over the couscous making sure it covers the couscous mixture completely. Cover with a plate or plastic wrap and leave for 5 to 10 minutes, or until all the stock is absorbed. Stir in the herbs, olive oil, and lemon juice. Fluff the couscous with a fork and toss with roasted veggies.
