Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

2 cups vegetable broth

1 medium sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, diced

1 red onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Optional: crumbled feta cheese for topping

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potato, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through for even cooking.

        Cook the Couscous: While the vegetables roast, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once boiling, stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

          Combine Everything: Once the vegetables are roasted, combine them with the cooked couscous in a large bowl. Gently mix to combine.

            Serve and Garnish: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and, if desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for added flavor.

              Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a satisfying main course!
