Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

2 cups vegetable broth

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 zucchini, diced

1 red onion, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup dried cranberries

1/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to coat all vegetables evenly.

      Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetable mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, tossing halfway through for even cooking.

        Cook the Couscous: While the vegetables are roasting, bring the vegetable broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the couscous, stir briefly, then remove from heat. Cover and let it sit for about 5 minutes, allowing the couscous to absorb the broth.

          Fluff and Combine: After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork. In a large serving bowl, combine the roasted vegetables with the couscous. Add the dried cranberries and chopped walnuts, mixing gently to incorporate all flavors.

            Garnish and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Maple Roasted Vegetable Couscous warm or at room temperature!
