pearl couscous salad with roasted vegetables

🥘 Ingredients

Pearl or Israeli Couscous- This couscous is fairly easy to find. I like to buy it in bulk bins though, it is so much cheaper. If you have this option, I recommend it.
Vegetable Stock- A lot of the flavor in the couscous comes from the stock.
Vegetables for roasting- I used what I had on hand- butternut squash, zucchini, bell peppers, and onions. You can use any vegetables you like to roast. Cauliflower, mushrooms, corn, etc are all good veggies to use.
Olive oil- you will use this to toast the couscous, but also for roasting the veggies.
Garlic- Always adds so much flavor to any dish!
Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning- These are the spices I use to create a flavorful dish.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 1/2 cups Pearl or Israeli couscous I used pearl couscous
2 1/2 cups vegetable stock homemade or store bought
4-6 cups Assorted veggies for roasting I used butternut squash, bell peppers, zucchini, and onions
1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling over veggies
1 salt
1/2 pepper
1-2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

Instructions

Add your butter to a saucepan and heat over medium heat. When it is melted and heated, add your couscous.
Cook, stirring occasionally until the couscous is toasted. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Add in the stock, reduce heat to low, and cover with a lid. Let this cook for about 15-20 minutes.
While it is cooking, let's start the veggies. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Cut your veggies into chunks. I like to cut my veggies that take longer to cook smaller, and the ones that take less time to cook in larger pieces. This ensures they will all cook at the same time.
Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Mix well and place in the oven,
Place in the oven and bake until the vegetables are tender. While they are cooking, the couscous will finish. Remove this from heat and leave the lid on until the vegetables are done.
Then fluff the couscous and add in the cooked vegetables, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently and check for seasoning. Add in more Italian, salt, and pepper as needed.
That is it! It is ready to go and so delicious.
This is a great dish for meal prep as it reheats really well.
Now, sit back and enjoy. You deserve it!
