  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth and 1 tbsp of olive oil to a boil. Stir in the couscous, cover, and remove from heat. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then fluff the couscous with a fork.

    ⏱️ 10 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Fluffing the couscous ensures light and fluffy texture.
  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the red and yellow bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender.

    ⏱️ 6 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Vegetables should be cooked but still slightly crunchy.
  3. 3

    Add the cooked vegetables to the fluffed couscous. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until well combined.

    ⏱️ 4 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: The lemon zest adds a burst of freshness.
  4. 4

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the rustic couscous warm as a flavorful side dish or a light main course.

    AI Wisdom: Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
