Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Scatter the veg over a couple of baking trays, drizzle with 1 tbsp coconut oil, season, then rub the oil over the veg with your hands to coat. Roast for 30 minutes until tender and beginning to brown.
  • Meanwhile, add cous cous to a pan of boiling water and cook for 10-15 minutes or until fluffy.
  • Fry the spices in 1 tbsp coconut oil– they should sizzle and start to smell aromatic. Tip in the tomatoes, chickpeas, apricots, honey and a can of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced and the apricots plump, then stir in the veg and some seasoning.
  • Serve with couscous and enjoy!
