Instructions

6 steps

1

Adjust racks to middle and top positions and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.

Trim and dice zucchini into ½-inch pieces. Halve tomatoes. Strip thyme leaves from stems. Peel and mince garlic. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Halve lemon.
2

Toss zucchini, tomatoes, and half the thyme leaves on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until tender, 15-20 minutes.
3

Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas; dry thoroughly with paper towels. On a second baking sheet, toss half the chickpeas (all for 4 servings) with a large drizzle of olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Roast on top rack, tossing halfway through, until crisp, 18-20 minutes. (It’s natural for the chickpeas to pop a bit while roasting.)
4

While chickpeas roast, heat 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), garlic, and scallion whites in a medium pot over medium-high heat; cook until butter melts and garlic is fragrant, 1 minute.

Add couscous and remaining thyme leaves; stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until couscous is lightly toasted, 1-2 minutes.
5

Add stock concentrate and ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings) to pot with couscous. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until couscous is tender, 6-8 minutes.

Drain any excess liquid if necessary. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
6

Add half the veggies, half the feta, and a squeeze of lemon juice to pot with couscous; stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide between plates; top with chickpeas and remaining veggies. Garnish with scallion greens and remaining feta. Serve.
