Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Combine butternut squash pieces, 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl, mix to combine. Place on a baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until butternut squash is tender, about 20 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a saucepan, remove from heat and stir in couscous. Cover saucepan and let stand until water is absorbed completely, about 10 minutes. Fluff couscous with a fork.

  5. Place green beans into a large skillet over high heat and cover with water, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are soft, 5 to 10 minutes.

  6. Preheat a nonstick frying pan over high heat. Place halloumi cheese slices on a plate and brush both sides lightly with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook cheese in the hot pan until each slice develops a deep brown crust, about 1 minute on the first side and 1 to 2 minutes on the other.

  7. Allow all ingredients to cool. Combine roasted squash, green beans, halloumi cheese, couscous, and pine nuts in a bowl. Drizzle with honey mustard dressing.
