Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

1 ½ cups vegetable broth

1 zucchini, chopped

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 small red onion, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup chickpeas (canned or cooked)

4 oz feta cheese, crumbled

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the chopped zucchini, red bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and chickpeas. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season with oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

        Cook the Couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork after letting it steam.

          Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the roasted vegetables with the fluffed couscous. Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and fresh lemon juice over the mixture. Add crumbled feta cheese and gently toss to combine.

            Garnish and Serve: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
