Cook the carrots: Place the sliced carrots on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle sumac, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.

Cook Giant Couscous: In a saucepan, bring water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the giant couscous, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the couscous is tender. Drain any excess liquid.

Prepare Orange Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together your dressing ingredients until well combined.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted carrots, cooked giant couscous, segmented orange, parsley and crumbled feta cheese. Pour the orange dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
