Cooking Steps
- Drain and rinse chickpeas, then pat dry with paper towels. Remove any skins that may have fallen off.
- To a parchment-lined baking sheet, add chickpeas, Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, half the Zesty Garlic Spice Blend, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp sugar) and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Roast chickpeas in the top of the oven for 22-25 min, stirring halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- While chickpeas roast, to a medium pot, add 6 cups water and 1 tsp salt to a medium pot (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, peel, then cut sweet potato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
- To an unlined baking sheet, add sweet potato, zucchini, remaining Zesty Garlic Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Roast in the middle of the oven for 16-18 min, stirring halfway through, until tender and golden. (NOTE: For 4 servings, roast in the middle and bottom of the oven, switching baking sheet positions halfway through.)
- To the boiling water, add couscous. Cook uncovered for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until tender.
- Meanwhile, zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
- Roughly chop parsley.
- To a small bowl, add tahini sauce, mayo, and 1 tsp (2 tsp) lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Strain couscous, then return to the pot, off heat.
- Add garlic spread, lemon zest and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Stir for 30 sec, until garlic spread melts.
- Add roasted veggies. Stir to combine.
- Divide couscous between bowls.
- Top with crispy chickpeas.
- Drizzle with lemon-tahini sauce.
- Sprinkle feta and remaining parsley over top.
- Squeeze a wedge of lemon over top, if you like.
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The tangy lemon-tahini sauce, roasted chickpeas, and garlic couscous create a bold, well-rounded flavour that many reviewers genuinely enjoyed. Some found the overall dish a little mild, noting that the individual components tasted better than the finished bowl.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found the recipe more time-consuming than expected, with several noting it took closer to 75 minutes rather than the listed time. Peeling chickpea skins and cutting sweet potato into 1/4-inch pieces were the most commonly cited time-consuming steps.
- Suggestions: Put the sweet potatoes and zucchini in the oven first, as the sweet potato often needs more roasting time than listed; cutting pieces closer to 1/4 inch helps them cook evenly. Some reviewers swapped the garlic spread for fresh minced garlic with olive oil, added harissa for depth, or used Greek yogurt in place of mayo for a lighter sauce.
- Leftovers: One reviewer noted the dish is best enjoyed fresh, as it loses some appeal the next day. Another found it held up well for lunch when the zucchini was kept separate.
- Texture: Reviewers were divided on the pearl couscous — some loved it, while others preferred a firmer grain like rice or bulgur. Ensuring the chickpeas roast long enough is key to achieving a satisfying crunch; several reviewers noted theirs stayed soft when underbaked.
