Ingredients
  

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced

1 medium zucchini, diced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

1 cup butternut squash, diced

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 cup vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices

1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped

1/4 cup almonds, slivered

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked couscous or rice (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing and chopping all your vegetables. Dice the onion and garlic, slice the carrots, and chop the bell peppers and zucchini. Dice the butternut squash and chop the dried apricots.

    Layer the Crockpot: In your crockpot, start by layering the diced onion and garlic at the bottom. This will help create a flavorful base for your tagine.

      Add Vegetables: Next, add in the carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, butternut squash, and chickpeas. Stir gently to combine.

        Incorporate Liquids and Spices: Pour the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices) over the vegetables. Sprinkle in the cumin, cinnamon, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed.

          Mix in Dried Fruits and Nuts: Add the chopped dried apricots and slivered almonds to the mix, folding them in gently.

            Cook in the Crockpot: Set your crockpot to low heat and cook for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld beautifully.

              Check Consistency: After the cooking time, check the consistency of the tagine. If it appears too thick, you can add a bit more vegetable broth. If it’s too watery, let it sit uncovered on high for a little while to reduce.

                Garnish and Serve: Once the tagine is ready, serve it hot, garnished with fresh cilantro or parsley. Pair it with fluffy couscous or rice for a complete meal.
