Cooking Steps
In a medium-sized pot, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add couscous, stirring to combine. Cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes until the couscous has absorbed all the water.
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until onion is softened.
Add bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot to the pan and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan and stir to combine.
Fluff the cooked couscous with a fork and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Stir well to combine.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
