  • Pre-heat your oven to 200 C / 400 F / gas mark 6
  • Arrange the chopped vegetables, lemon and garlic on to a sheet pan.
  • Drizzle over the olive oil and salt and pepper, toss the vegetables carefully to ensure they are all coated.
  • Roast in the centre of the oven for 30-45 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

For the couscous

  • Once the vegetables are out of the oven, place the giant couscous into a sauce pan along with the stock.
