Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the cauliflower and carrots on one baking sheet. Spray with high heat oil. Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
In a large bowl, add the cubed tofu and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Stir until tofu is evenly coated with cornstarch. Arrange on one of the baking sheets so that there is 1-2" of space between each cubes. Lightly spray with high heat oil. Bake in the oven (with the carrots/cauliflower) for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the couscous as directed on the package. When finished cooking, rinse (to prevent sticking) and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the Honey Harissa Sauce. Taste test to see if you prefer more of an ingredient and adjust accordingly. Set aside about 1/3 cup of the sauce, leaving the rest in the bowl.
To the bowl, add the baked tofu. Toss until evenly coated. Serve warm with cooked couscous and roasted vegetables. Garnish with lemon juice, fresh parsley and reserved honey harissa sauce. Enjoy!
