Instructions

Prep
1

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425˚F. Wash and dry all produce. Halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise, then cut into 1/4-inch half-moons. Core, then cut pepper into 1/2-inch pieces. Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch pieces. Finely chop parsley. Reserve half the thyme sprigs (to use in step 3). Strip 1 tsp thyme leaves (dbl for 4 ppl) from remaining stems, then finely chop. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Drain and rinse chickpeas.

Start stew
2

Heat a large pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions and carrots. (TIP: Use olive oil if preferred.) Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions and carrots start to soften, 4-5 min. Add chopped thyme and half the garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add chickpeas, crushed tomatoes, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp sugar and 1/2 cup water (dbl all for 4 ppl). Season with pepper. Bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until stew thickens slightly, 5-7 min. Remove from heat, then cover to keep warm.

Roast veggies
3

Meanwhile, add zucchini, peppers, reserved thyme sprigs and 1 tbsp oil to an unlined baking sheet. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, use 2 baking sheets, with 1 tbsp oil per sheet.) Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine. Roast in the middle of the oven, tossing halfway through, until veggies are tender-crisp, 10-12 min. (NOTE: For 4 ppl, roast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)

Cook couscous
4

Meanwhile, heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Add 2/3 cup water (dbl for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, then add couscous. Stir to combine. Cover and let stand for 5 min. When couscous is tender, fluff with a fork, then stir in 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) and half the parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Finish stew
5

Remove thyme sprigs from roasted veggies and discard. Stir sun-dried tomato pesto and roasted veggies into stew. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, then stir to combine.

Finish and serve
6

Divide couscous between bowls, then top with chickpea stew. Sprinkle remaining parsley over top.
