1/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1 cup couscous, preferably whole-wheat |
2 cups boiling water |
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed |
2 tablespoons italian parsley |
Directions:
1. Place squash in a vegetable steaming basket over boiling water.
2. Cover and steam until tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Set aside.
4. Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray and set the pan over medium heat.
5. Add bell peppers and onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.

7. Add couscous and cook for 2 minutes.
8. Remove the pan from the heat.
