3. Mix 2 tbsp olive oil with the dried herbs (oregano, basil, thyme) and pour on the veg. Mix well.
4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Arrange the veg in a single layer and roast in the preheated oven at 200 C for 20 to 25 mins.
5. Fluff up the couscous with a fork. Season with ground cumin and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and gently fold in the veg. Enjoy!

Allergy: Gluten. No dairy. No egg. No nut.

Tips: I like this salad warm, but can be served cold. It can be a main dish or a side salad.
