- Preheat oven to 400 ̊. Toss broccoli, beans and onions with oil, salt, and pepper. Spread onto a sheet tray and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until broccoli is tender and lightly charring. Once the veggies are cooked, tossed together with the lettuce, basil couscous, almond slivers, carrots and feta. Season with salt & pepper to taste & transfer on to a plate.
