Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 800 g of pumpkin
• 4 to matoes
• 1 red onion
• 1 capsicum
• 2 carrots
• 1/2 cup of frozen peas
• small tin of corn
• 100 g of walnuts
• 1 cup of couscous

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 210 degrees
• Cut up pumpkin, capsicum and carrot into small pieces (approx 2-3cm)
• Cut tomato and red onion into 8 wedges
• Place all cut up vegies onto baking tray (I cover mine with foil) and spray lightly with olive oil and sprinkle over paprika to taste.
• After 30 minutes in oven, sprinkle walnuts over vegies and toss.
• Roast in oven for a further 20 - 30 minutes - time will vary depending on size of vegie pieces and how roasted you like your vegies.  I normally roast them for an hour to an hour and a quarter.
• When almost roasted, cook peas in microwave with a small amount of water for approx 2 minutes.
• Boil kettle and in a large bowl, combine couscous and 3/4 cup of boiling water, drizzle a small amount of olive oil over couscous (up to a tablespoon). Using a fork mix together and then cover bowl for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes check couscous, it should be soft. You can add a little extra water if you prefer it a bit softer.
• Add roasted vegies, peas and tin of corn to couscous and mix together.  There will be extra liquid/juices from vegies which you can also add.
