• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Cut carrot, potato and beetroot into bite-sized chunks. • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Sprinkle with garlic & herb seasoning, drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Spread out evenly, then roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • In the last 15 minutes of cook time, add peeled pumpkin pieces to the tray. • In the last 3 minutes of cook time, add flaked almonds to one side of the tray, return to the oven and continue roasting until golden.
• Meanwhile, boil the kettle and finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Toast pearl couscous, stirring occasionally, until golden, 1-2 minutes. • Half-fill saucepan with boiling water and a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil then simmer, uncovered, until tender, 10-12 minutes. Drain. • Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Return couscous to pan with vegetable stock powder and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. • Cook plant-based crumbed chicken until golden and heated through, 2-3 minutes on each side. • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Add roasted veggies and baby leaves to the couscous, along with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Toss to combine. • Divide roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with plant-based crumbed chicken. • Dollop over plant-based mayo and garnish with toasted almonds. Enjoy!
