Ingredients:
- 4 Garlic Cloves
- 16 oz Asparagus
- 1/2 oz Thyme
- 4 tsp Veggie Stock concentrate
- 8 oz grape tomatoes
- 4 Scallions
- 1 1/2 cups Israeli couscous

Directions:
- Prep: Adjust rack to middle position ans preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Mince garlic. Trim and discard woody bottom ends from asparagus; but stalks crosswise into 3-inch pieces. Strip thyme leaves from stems; discard stems and roughly chop leaves. In a small pot, combine stock concentrate and 2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Roast Veggies: Toss garlic, asparagus, tomatoes, and half the thyme on a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until asparagus is tender and tomatoes burst, 12-15 minutes.
