started documenting myself learning new easy & healthy meals for me and the fam - callin it FIT FAM FUEL
if dinner feels like another decision you don’t have energy for
this one might save you
this killer harissa-style roasted veg couscous
simple food that punches above its weight
1 tray, minimal work, big flavours and big payoff
how to make it
• heat oven to 180°C / 360°F
• choo veg you like (zucchini, peppers, onion, garlic, cherry tomatoes …)
• drizzle with olive oil, salt +pepper
• roast 30-40min
dressing (do not skip this)
• olive oil (150-250ml)
• 2 tbsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsp tomato purée
• 1 tsp cayenne (do a version w/o for the kids)
• 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
• mix it up
to finish
• make couscous (takes 5 mins)
• top with roasted veg
• add dressing
• throw in Greek yoghurt + feta
• optional extras: raisins, baby leaf salad, whatever’s in the fridge/pantry
why it works
• veg packed, high fibre
• carbs for energy without heaviness
• healthy fats for satiety
• solid protein from toppings
• easy to scale for kids/adults
• stores in fridge for 2 days
• minimal headache
this isn’t about perfect nutrition
it’s about food you’ll actually make and repeat
and that is what Fit Fam Fuel is all about
good food that feeds your busy life
