Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Aproximativ 5 min.
2
In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Ensure all squash pieces are lightly coated for best flavor.
3
Spread the seasoned butternut squash in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow the squash to roast instead of steam.
4
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
Aproximativ 30 min.
5
While the squash roasts, place the whole-wheat couscous in a heatproof bowl.
Aproximativ 1 min.
6
Pour the hot vegetable broth over the couscous, cover the bowl with a plate or lid, and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Aproximativ 5 min.
Nota bucătarului: The steam will cook the couscous perfectly.
7
After 5 minutes, fluff the couscous with a fork.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: This separates the grains and prevents them from clumping.
8
In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, water, and garlic until smooth and creamy.
Aproximativ 2 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add a little more water if the dressing is too thick.
9
Combine the fluffed couscous and roasted butternut squash in a large serving bowl.
Aproximativ 1 min.
10
Drizzle the tahini dressing over the couscous and squash, then gently toss to combine.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Add dressing to taste, you may not need all of it.
11
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Aproximativ 1 min.
