Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Thinly slice fennel into wedges.
• Place roast veggie mix and fennel 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 veggies between two trays. 

Cook the couscous
2

• 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.
• Carefully half-fill the saucepan with water and salt. Simmer, uncovered, until 
tender, 14-16 minutes. 
• Drain, rinse and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.

Get prepped
3

• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add a generous drizzle of oil from the marinated goat 
cheese. Add the balsamic vinegar and honey. Whisk with a fork to combine, then 
season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Stir dressing through the cooked couscous. Season to taste.  

Finish & serve
4

• Divide pearl couscous between bowls, then top with roasted veg.
• Crumble over goat cheese.
• Garnish with flaked almonds and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
