MEDITERRANEAN ROASTED VEGETABLE COUSCOUS

Mediterranean Roasted Vegetable Couscous image

This is one of my favourite, quick and healthy evening meals. I chop all the vegetables up and pop them in the oven; the rest takes 5 minutes to pull together. I normally grill some lemony chicken to go with it, but it's delicious on its own.
