Decided to give this a go this weekend. I'm in love! See all details here.

  • 1 medium red onion, peeled and diced (1/2-inch)

  • 8 oz. zucchini, halved and sliced 1/2-inch thick

*1/3 cup coarsely chopped cashews, toasted

*1/4 cup chopped parsley

*1/4 cup orange juice

*1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

*Cayenne pepper to taste

Directions * Heat oven to 450°F.

*In a large bowl, toss yam, onion and zucchini with olive oil, salt and pepper. Transfer to a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan or baking sheet.

*Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until vegetables are lightly browned and tender, stirring once.

*Meanwhile, heat broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in couscous and green onions; cover and cook 1 minute.
