Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut tomato into thick wedges. • Place tomato and carrot & zucchini mix on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning and toss to coat. Roast until almost tender, 15-20 minutes. • Meanwhile, roughly tear kale leaves (see ingredients), then discard the stems. • When the veggies are almost tender, add kale and a pinch of salt to the tray. Gently toss to combine. Roast until tender, a further 5-8 minutes.

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

• Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and vegetable stock powder. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until couscous is tender and water is absorbed, 10-12 minutes.
