Ingredients

For the farro salad with roasted vegetables, here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need:

– 1 cup farro
– 2 cups vegetable broth or water
– 2 cups of seasonal vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, or asparagus)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– ½ teaspoon dried basil (or fresh)
– ½ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
– ¼ cup fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or basil), chopped
– Juice of 1 lemon


Instructions

Making the farro salad with roasted vegetables is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Farro: Rinse the farro under cold water. In a medium pot, combine farro and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Check if the farro is tender and drain any excess liquid if necessary.
3. Chop Vegetables: While the farro cooks, chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces and place them on a large baking sheet.
4. Season Vegetables: Drizzle the chopped vegetables with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried basil. Toss to combine.
5. Roast Vegetables: Spread the vegetables evenly on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Make sure to stir them halfway through for even roasting.
6. Combine Salad: In a large bowl, combine the cooked farro and roasted vegetables. Toss well to mix.
7. Add Cheese and Herbs: If you’re using feta cheese, sprinkle it over the salad now. Add the chopped fresh herbs along with the lemon juice, and mix well to combine all ingredients.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
9. Cool Before Serving: Allow the salad to cool slightly before serving, or enjoy it warm.
