Autumn Couscous Bowl
Ingredients
  • 1 2 pound  butternut squash, peeled and chopped in 1/2-inch pieces (about 4 cups)
  • 2 cups  small cauliflower florets
  • 1/2 teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 10 ounce package couscous
  • 3 tablespoons  butter
  • 1/4 cup  sweet Asian chili sauce
  • 1/4 cup  shelled pistachio nuts
  • Fresh thyme (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Place squash and 2 tablespoons water in a large microwave safe bowl; cover with vented plastic wrap. Microcook on 100 percent power (high) for 5 to 8 minutes, until crisp tender, stirring once.

2. Transfer squash along with cauliflower to a 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper then lightly coat with cooking spray. Broil 4 to 5 inches from heat for 10 to 12 minutes, until tender and beginning to brown, stirring once halfway through broiling time.

3. Meanwhile, prepare couscous according to package directions; set aside. In a small microwave-safe bowl combine the butter and chili sauce. Briefly microcook on high just until butter is melted.

4. Divide couscous among 4 shallow bowls. Top with vegetables, pistachios, chili-butter, and thyme.
