How to Make Baked Couscous Pilaf
- Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup couscous, 1 cup vegetable broth, 1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium), 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or almonds work well), 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional), 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with foil.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the couscous is tender and the carrots are cooked through. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork and serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
