  • 600g heirloom carrots (about 2 bunches), trimmed and scrubbed
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 75.08 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
  • 187.50 ml couscous
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 bunch mint, roughly chopped, plus a few leaves reserved to garnish
  • 200g Greek feta, crumbled
  • Pomegranate molasses, to drizzle
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C.
  • Combine carrots, garlic, half of the oil, and chilli flakes in a bowl. Season the mixture, then transfer it to a lined roasting tin. Roast for 25 minutes or until carrots are just tender. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Place couscous in a bowl and cover with 2/3 cup boiling water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and let sit for 10 minutes. Season to taste and fluff with a fork before serving.
