Moroccan-style vegetable couscous with chickpeas is a filling, protein-packed vegan meal! The flavors from ras el hanout and cinnamon are warm and comforting, and I love that you can really use whatever veggies you have on hand. If it can be roasted, it will work here! Serve this roasted vegetable couscous with a salad, or pair it with a meat-based protein like Moroccan chicken.
