Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked couscous
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 (16-ounce) can fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup presliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 (11-ounce) can no-salt-added whole-kernel corn, drained
  • 1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Method

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Place the couscous on a jelly-roll pan, and bake at 425° for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Bring water and broth to a boil in a saucepan, and gradually stir in couscous. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, and set aside.
  • While couscous stands, combine bell pepper and next 9 ingredients (bell pepper through garlic) in a large bowl, and stir well. Arrange vegetable mixture on jelly-roll pan; bake at 425° for 12 minutes. Combine couscous, roasted vegetables, onions, and beans in a large bowl, and stir well.
