1
Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Scatter the veg over a couple of baking trays, drizzle with half the oil, season, then rub the oil over the veg with your hands to coat.
2
Roast for 30 mins until tender and beginning to brown. Meanwhile, fry the spices in the remaining oil for 1 min - they should sizzle and start to smell aromatic.
3
Tip in the tomatoes, apricots, honey and use the empty tomato can to measure a can of water and add.
4
Simmer for 5 mins until the sauce is slightly reduced and the apricots plump, then stir in the veg and some seasoning. Serve with couscous.
