Method
Toss the courgette, peppers and onion in the oil on a large tray and roast at 200C (180C fan, gas 6) for 15 minutes.
Scatter the halloumi over the veg and roast for another 10 minutes, until the halloumi is golden at the edges and the veg is soft and charred.
Put the couscous in a bowl, pour over the boiling water, cover with a plate and leave for 5 minutes. Fluff it up with a fork and stir in the lemon juice.
Divide the couscous between four plates and pile the roast veg and halloumi on top.
Cool leftovers, get them into the fridge within 2 hours and eat within 2 days, cold or reheated once until steaming hot.
