In a large glass measuring cup, whisk water and Chicken Base until base dissolves; set aside.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic and carrots, sauté 5-10 minutes or until carrots are crisp-tender and onion is translucent. Add dissolved base mixture and edamame, stir to combine and bring to a boil.

Turn off heat; stir in couscous and thyme, season with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Stir, before serving; sprinkle with Romano cheese and sunflower kernels.
