Ingredients
  

1 cup couscous

1 1/4 cups vegetable broth

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips

1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 red onion, cut into wedges

2 cups fresh spinach or arugula

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1 lemon, juiced

Instructions
 

Prepare Couscous: In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/4 cups of vegetable broth to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and set aside.

    Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

      Marinate Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine sliced zucchini, red and yellow bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the veggies evenly.

        Grill Veggies: Place the marinated vegetables onto the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and have nice grill marks. The tomatoes should be slightly softened but still hold their shape.

          Assemble Bowls: In a large bowl or serving dish, layer the cooked couscous as the base. Top with the grilled vegetables and fresh spinach or arugula.

            Garnish and Serve: Drizzle with lemon juice, and sprinkle the chopped parsley and crumbled feta cheese over the top (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant, healthy Couscous Bowls!
