Roasted Vegetable Couscous

Finding healthy side dishes can be a challenge.  It’s so easy to reach for those french fries or side salad with loads of cheese and croutons.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  You can make simple side dishes that are healthy and easy.  And taste great.  Roasting vegetables and mixing them with couscous can make any main dish fabulous.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup couscous cooked
  • 1 medium zucchini chopped
  • 1 medium squash chopped
  • 1/2 container container grape tomatoes halved
  • 1 container container of plain Greek yogurt I used Chibani
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

Roast the vegetables:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the zucchini, squash and grape tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place the veggies on a cookie sheet, and bake for about 10 minutes. You want them to still be crispy when they are completed.

Cook the couscous:

  • Remember the ratio of couscous is 1:1, meaning one cup uncooked couscous to about 1 cup water (or more depending on how moist you like your couscous).
  • Once the couscous is done cooking, mix in the yogurt and stir. This is to make it creamy.  Add in the roasted veggies. Add more salt and pepper if needed.  Serve immediately.

    Thanks Missy! I still have lots of planning and preparing for the tutorial, but it should be happening eventually. I really need another day in the week – that would be so helpful!

    You know, quinoa is so trendy right now (and I have some great quinoa recipes coming to the blog soon) that I always forget about couscous. But you are so right…it’s so good. And there are SO many options with it.

    Thank you lady! This dish could totally be a full blown meal – it’s so filling. And easy to make…oh and creamy. I love creamy with it not being a ton of points. I’m sure I will be picking your brain more on the tutorials! I gotta figure that part out.
