Prep Time5 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time35 mins

 80 g pearl cous cous
 2 zucchinis, roasted
 1 large bunch kale, chopped, roasted
 2 onions, roasted
 ¼ kent pumpkin, chopped, roasted
 2 beetoots, cut into wedges, roasted
 1 tsp minced garlic
 extra virgin olive oil
 1 tbsp pepitas

1

Chop and roast your veggies. Any veggies. Seriously, whatever you like! We used zucchini, kale, pumpkin, beetroot and onions because that's what looked delish at the market.

2

Meanwhile, cook the pearl cous cous according to packet direction. Once done, fluff it up with a fork and stir through a tsp of minced garlic.

3

Combine the roasted veg with the cous cous and stir to combine. Top with pepitas to serve.

4

(Note: for a gluten free alternative swap out the cous cous for a microwave brown rice and quinoa blend. For a low FODMAP alternative, use the brown rice and quinoa, go easy on the pumpkin portion and swap the onion for the green parts of a leek.)
