Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Deseed, then chop the squash into 2cm pieces (see tip) and slice the fennel bulbs into 8 wedges each through the core. Put in a baking tray and toss in olive oil, season well, then roast for 45 minutes or until tender.
- After 30 minutes, cook the couscous in boiling water for about 7 minutes until just tender. Drain and drizzle with a little olive oil, then season and set aside. When the squash and fennel are tender, take out of the oven and remove from the tray (don’t wash up the tray).
- Turn the oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas 9. Put the kale in a single layer on the baking tray, then toss with a little olive oil and season. Bake for 4-5 minutes until crisp. Toss a handful each of each herb through the couscous. Season, adding the squeeze of lemon juice. Serve everything piled onto plates, topped with the feta.
