Rainbow Carrot & Tomato-Baked Couscous

with Basil Pesto & Parmesan

Difficulty: 1/3
Mediterranean

Bake up the rainbow with only one tray and a whole lot of flavour. The carrots are glowing and the pops of blistered cherry tomato in the couscous give this bowl a vibrant burst. Cool it down with basil pesto and there you have it, a flavourful dinner we can all get behind. *This recipe is under 650kcal per serving.* *Unfortunately, this week's silverbeet was in short supply, so we've replaced it with baby spinach. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!*

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Drain tinned cherry tomatoes, reserving the passata sauce. • In a baking dish, combine Israeli couscous, reserved passata, garlic & herb seasoning and the boiling water (11/2 cups for 2 people / 3 cups for 4 people). • Cover with foil and bake until couscous is 'al dente' and water is absorbed, 28-32 minutes.

• Meanwhile, trim green tops from baby rainbow carrots and scrub them clean (halve any thick carrots lengthways). Cut parsnip into wedges, lengthways. • Place carrots, parsnip and cherry tomatoes on a lined oven tray. Combine with the balsamic vinegar, half the brown sugar, a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to combine and spread out evenly. • Roast until blistered and tender, 20-25 minutes.
