Cooking Steps
- Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
- Slice onion into wedges.
- Place onion and chopped veggie mix on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle over garlic & herb seasoning, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat.
- Roast until tender, 25-30 minutes
• In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill the saucepan with boiling water, then add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. • Drain couscous and return to the pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cut halloumi into 1cm slices. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook halloumi, until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. • Remove pan from heat, then add the honey, turning halloumi to coat.
• Add the roasted veggies to the pearl couscous, along with plant-based basil pesto and baby leaves. Stir to combine. • Divide pearl couscous between bowls. • Top with honey-glazed halloumi to serve. Enjoy!
