    Ingredients for couscous with vegetables
  • Cut the zucchini into circles half a centimeter thick, if the core with seeds is sufficiently pronounced - use only the walls. Peel the pepper from the seeds and divide into quarters. The  onion is divided into 8-10 parts, but in such a way that they remain connected at the base, so the petals will not fly apart. Cut the carrots into thin slices. Using a brush, grease all vegetables with vegetable oil on one side, add salt and season with ground pepper.
