Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

2 cups vegetable broth

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow squash, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red onion, chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley

Feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, and chopped red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, honey, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.

        Cook the Couscous: While the veggies roast, bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff the couscous with a fork.

          Combine Ingredients: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the fluffed couscous and the roasted vegetables. Stir gently to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2-3 minutes.

            Finishing Touches: Remove from heat and stir in the freshly chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

              Serve: Serve warm, topped with crumbled feta cheese if desired, and lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
