Cooking Steps
Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice the capsicum into thin strips. Cut the red onion into thick wedges. Thickly slice the zucchini into half-moons. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
While the veggies are roasting, add the water and vegetable stock powder to a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Add the couscous and stir to combine. Cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Set aside until the water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork.
While the couscous is cooking, roughly chop the parsley. Zest the lemon to get a generous pinch, then cut into wedges. Roughly chop the kalamata olives.
Use your hands to break each spinach falafel into quarters (don't worry if they crumble!). Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with some olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people/ 1/2 cup for 4 people). When the oil is hot, cook the falafel, tossing, until deep golden brown, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
While the falafel is cooking, add the lemon zest, olives, the roasted veggies and 1/2 the parsley to the couscous. Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice, then toss to combine and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the garlic sauce, Greek-style yoghurt and splash of water. Season to taste.
TIP: Add less olives if you find them too salty!
Divide the lemony roast veggie couscous between bowls. Top with the falafel. Drizzle over the garlic-yoghurt dressing. Garnish with the remaining parsley. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
