Preparation
Roast the carrots
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Halve the carrots lengthwise (quarter if large). On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ¾ of the spices and S&P. Roast, flipping halfway, 18 to 22 min., until tender.
Boil the couscous
Meanwhile, add the couscous to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate. Boil, 8 to 12 min., until tender. Drain, return to the pot and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent clumping; season with S&P.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes. Cut off the top and bottom of the orange so it sits flat on your cutting board; cut away the peel and white pith. Thinly slice, then medium-dice. Thinly slice the chives.
Toast the pistachios & sear the halloumi
Heat a medium, dry pan on medium. Add the pistachios and toast, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until lightly browned and fragrant. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough, roughly chop. Rinse the halloumi and pat dry with paper towel; thinly slice. In the same pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the halloumi and sear, 1 to 2 min. per side, until golden brown.
Make the vinaigrette
In a medium bowl, combine the vinegar, honey, orange, pistachios, ½ the chives, 3 tbsp oil (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish & serve
To the pot of couscous, add the tomatoes and remaining chives; stir well. Divide the labneh between your plates and spread out in a circular motion. Top with the couscous, halloumi and carrots. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Bon appétit!
