There was complete mayhem when this dish hit our tasting table. With sweet honey and fragrant thyme on warm, salty haloumi, plus spiced veggies and toasty flaked almonds, it disappeared from the bowl in record time. Enjoy!

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Cut the carrot (unpeeled) into 1cm half-moons. Cut the parsnip (unpeeled) into 2cm chunks. Cut the beetroot (unpeeled) into 1cm chunks. Slice the red onion into 2cm wedges. Place the veggies on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Sprinkle with Nan's special seasoning, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until tender, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Cut the veggies to size so they cook in time. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, add the water and vegetable stock powder to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Leave until all the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork and set aside uncovered.
While the couscous is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the flaked almonds and toast, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. Roughly chop the spinach & rocket mix. Pick the thyme leaves. Zest the lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges. Cut the haloumi into 1cm-thick slices. In a second small bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
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, 2 minutes each side. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the honey and thyme. Cook until fragrant, turning the haloumi to coat, 1 minute.
Add the roasted veggies, spinach & rocket mix, a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of olive oil to the couscous. Gently toss to combine, then season to taste.
Divide the roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with the honey and thyme haloumi. Drizzle over the lemony yoghurt. Sprinkle with the toasted almonds and serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
