Ingredients

  • 1 cup pearled Couscous
  • 1 lb. broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 1 ounce dried apricots, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • Olive oil
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place broccoli on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to thoroughly coat.
  2. Arrange in a single, even layer and roast for 16-18 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. While broccoli roasts, heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling, on high. Once boiling, add couscous and cook 6-8 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water for 20-30 seconds to prevent sticking.
