Method

Preheat the oven to gas 6, 180°C, fan 160°C. Put the couscous in a heatproof bowl and pour over 100ml boiling water. Cover and leave for 5 mins, then fluff up with a fork, tip onto a plate and leave to cool.
Toss the carrots, parsnips and potato with the oil in a baking tray; season. Bake for 30-40 mins until golden and crisp, turning halfway.
Meanwhile, lightly brush the chicken with mustard, then dip in the couscous to coat all over. Transfer to a lined baking sheet, leaving space between the nuggets. Bake for 20-25 mins alongside the chips, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
Mix together the ingredients for the dip in a small bowl and serve alongside the chicken nuggets and rainbow chips.
