Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup couscous
  • 1 cup vegetable broth or water
  • 1 small zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place zucchini, bell pepper, red onion, and cherry tomatoes on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat.
