Directions

15 mins to prep

1 hour to bake

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 200℃. And prepare two baking trays with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Cut up all your vegetables into bite-sized pieces (besides the garlic, leave it whole with the skin on), and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toss well and spread over the baking trays making sure that no vegetables are overlapping. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

  3. Step 3

    Cook the farro as per package instructions, in salted water. Once cooked, if there is water remaining in the pot, drain and set aside.

  4. Step 4

    While the veggies roast and the farro cooks prepare the tahini dressing. To a jar add all the ingredients and 6–8 tablespoons of water. Close well and shake vigorously to combine. Remove the lid and check the consistency. If it’s still too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time to get it to a dressing consistency.

  5. Step 5

    In a large bowl, combine the farro and roasted vegetables and distribute them between plates. Pour over the dressing and top with optional garnishes.
