    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb. carrots, sliced ¾ inch thick on the diagonal
    • 1 head cauliflower (3 lbs), cored and cut into florets
    • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
    • 3 tablespoons olive oil
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
    • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
    • ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from 3 lemons)
    • 1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, rinsed and drained
    • 6 scallions, thinly sliced
    • 5 ounces baby arugula

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 450° F. Place carrots and cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet; toss with cumin and 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Spread half the vegetables on a second baking sheet. Roast until browned and tender, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets and tossing halfway through. Cool to room temperature.
    2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring 1 ¼ cups salted water to a boil. Stir in couscous; cover and remove from heat. Let stand until tender, 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork; set aside to cool, uncovered.
    3. Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest and juice and remaining tablespoon of oil; season with salt and pepper.
    4. In a large bowl, combine roasted vegetables with couscous, chickpeas, and scallions. Place arugula on a serving platter, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon dressing. Add remaining dressing to couscous mixture, and toss; serve over arugula.

      I'm also a huge fan! My family loves all of the recipes and I love not having to brainstorm dinner each night.

      I just wanted to clarify that the 447 calorie count was for 4 servings? Or is the information listed for 1 serving.

      Thanks in advance!

      Hi Kate, I love all your recipes and have been making them every day religiously since the new year! I do have one question, how are you basing your calorie count for each recipe? Is it per serving, or in total? How much is a "serving" in your models?
      Thanks!!

        Hi Ashley! So glad you're enjoying the recipes and they're working for you. Thanks for your question. Each set of nutritional info has a 'Servings' column that let's you know how many servings each recipe should make. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have other questions.
