Scale

FOR THE VEGGIES

  • 2 Japanese eggplants
  • 2 zucchinis
  • 2 yellow squash
  • 1 red onion cut into big chunks
  • 1 pack cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup of Kalamata Greek olives
  • 2 TBS of Italian seasoning

FOR THE SALAD

  • 3 cups of Israeli couscous (cooked to package instructions)
  • 1 bunch of kale- finely shredded
  • Good quality Italian Olive Oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200 C

Chop the veggies into large chunks. Split the veggies in half and place on 2 Teflon/foiled lined baking sheets. (Never layer them more than one veggie high to stop them stewing).

Season the vegetable with Italian seasoning, coarse salt, and black pepper. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Toss the veggies to evenly coat.

Roast for about 45mins- 1-hour turning halfway until veggies are nicely browned and caramelized. Set the veggies aside to cool.
Cook the Israeli couscous to package instructions (Add 3 cups of couscous to 3 ¾ cups of boiling water). Simmer for 8 minutes stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.

Chop the kale into small pieces and add to the couscous. Top with the roasted veggies and drizzle with good quality olive oil before serving.
