Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

1 1/4 cups vegetable broth

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium red onion, chopped

1 cup broccoli florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

      Prepare the Vegetables:

        In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until all veggies are well-coated.

          Roast the Veggies:

            Spread the vegetable mixture evenly on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 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, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the broth is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.

                  Combine and Assemble:

                    In a large serving bowl, combine the fluffy couscous with the roasted veggies. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top and give it a gentle toss to mix everything.

                      Serve:

                        Divide the roasted veggie couscous into serving bowls. Garnish each bowl with chopped fresh parsley and crumbled feta cheese, if desired.

                          Enjoy:

                            Serve warm and enjoy your colorful, nutritious bowl of roasted veggies and fluffy couscous!
