Tomato Baked Veggies over Cous Cous

I am loving vegetables baked in tomato sauce lately.  It takes no time to prep, cooks while you make the rest of the meal, and is infinitely more interesting than just steamed veg.  You can use any tomato sauce you like.  I used the spicy marinara left over from pizza bread dipping, but you can make it really easy on yourself and use your favorite jarred sauce.  Along the easy line, cous cous is the perfect vehicle for carrying this veggie saucy goodness.
