Method

1. 01
   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. 02
   In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, then add za'atar, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
3. 03
   Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

   While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the couscous. Place the couscous in a heatproof bowl, pour the boiling water over it, cover, and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
5. 05
   To make the pomegranate molasses drizzle, mix the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, and honey in a small bowl until well combined.

   To serve, place the couscous on a large serving platter, top with the roasted vegetables, and drizzle generously with the pomegranate molasses mixture.
