Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the beetroot into small chunks. Slice the red onion (see ingredients) into wedges. Place the peeled & chopped pumpkin, beetroot and onion on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread out evenly and roast until tender, 25-30 minutes.
TIP: Beetroot retains a lot of its firmness when cooked. You can tell it's cooked when it can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the veggies are roasting, finely chop the garlic. In a medium saucepan, add a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and vegetable stock powder and bring to the boil. Add the couscous, currants and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
While the couscous is cooking, cut the haloumi into 1cm slices (you should get 3 pieces per person), then pat dry with paper towel. Slice the lemon into wedges. In a small bowl, add the Greek-style yoghurt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season and stir to combine. Set aside.
Heat a medium frying pan over a medium-high heat. Toast the dukkah, tossing occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Roughly chop the baby spinach leaves.
When the veggies have 5 minutes cook time remaining, return the frying pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side. Meanwhile, stir the roasted veggies, baby spinach and toasted dukkah through the couscous.
Divide the dukkah and roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with the haloumi. Spoon over the lemon yoghurt and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
