Helpful tips for success

Sheet pan

I like to use a rimmed baking sheet when I roast vegetables in the oven. I find it will provide the best space so you can cook in one layer. Otherwise, you’ll find you need a bigger pan so things don’t overlap.

Turning halfway through the roast

Be sure to turn the vegetables halfway through roasting. This way, both sides of the vegetables will brown evenly.

Variations on Farro Bowl

Dress up

I made this homemade dressing, but you can swap it out for something else if you like. I find that the seasoning complements the farro and vegetables very well.

Vegetables used

So this dish can be made with almost any vegetable. Broccoli, kale, spinach, zucchini and the list goes on. Feel free to pick and choose the vegetables you want.

Artificial sweetener

If you don’t want to use maple syrup, you can use agave or artificial sweetener or leave it out altogether if you don’t want to add sugar to the bowl.

Farro has more carbs, but is also richer in nutrients compared to quinoa. So it’s up to you whether you want to reduce your carb intake or not. But both of these items are healthy compared to, say, rice.
