Instructions

Step 1/4

Prep and Roast Vegetables

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss mixed vegetables with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well coated. Spread them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.

Cook Couscous

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the couscous according to the package instructions. Typically, this involves bringing water or broth to a boil, adding couscous, covering, and letting it sit off the heat for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
