Ingredients

  • 4 roma tomatoes $1.69
  • 2 zucchini $1.23
  • 1 bell pepper $1.00
  • 1 red onion $0.69
  • 4 cloves garlic $0.24
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil $0.32
  • 2 pinches salt and pepper $0.05
  • 2 cups couscous $1.97
  • 3 cups vegetable broth $0.39
  • 1/4 bunch parsley $0.24

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Wash and chop the tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion into 1 to 1.5-inch pieces. Peel four cloves of garlic but leave them whole.
  2. Toss the chopped vegetables and garlic with 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Spread them out on a baking sheet so they are in a single layer. Sprinkle a couple pinches of salt and pepper over the vegetables
  3. Place the vegetables in the oven and roast at 400ºF for about 45 minutes, stirring twice throughout, until the vegetables are wilted and browned on the edges.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, cook the couscous. Add the vegetable broth to a sauce pot, place a lid on top, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the couscous, turn off the heat, and cover the pot with the lid once again. Let the couscous sit, undisturbed, for ten minutes. Then, fluff with a fork.
  5. After the vegetables are finished roasting, collect the four garlic cloves, and chop them well. They will be quite soft. Also roughly chop the fresh parsley.
  6. Combine the couscous, roasted vegetables (including garlic), and parsley in a bowl, and stir to combine. Season with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm or cold!
