Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot into half-moons. • Cut beetroot into 1cm chunks. • Halve snacking tomatoes. • Slice chicken breast into thin strips.

2

• Place prepped veggies on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt. Toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.

3

• When veggies have 10 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. • In a large bowl, add couscous and vegetable stock powder. • Add the boiling water (3/4 cups for 2 people / 1 1/2 cups for 4 people) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside.

4

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook chicken strips, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

5

• To the bowl with couscous, add roasted veggies, baby spinach leaves and a drizzle of the vinegar. Season. • In a small bowl, combine plant-based basil pesto and plant-based aioli.

6

• Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with chicken. • Drizzle over plant-based pesto aioli mixture to serve. Enjoy!
