Chef's Note
This grain bowl is perfect for meal prep - you can roast the vegetables and cook the farro up to 3 days ahead and store them separately in the refrigerator. For the freshest flavor, add the feta, herbs, and dressing just before serving. Za'atar adds a wonderful Middle Eastern flavor, but if you can't find it, substitute with a mix of dried thyme, sesame seeds, and a pinch of sumac.

Ingredients
1/2 cup farro
1 cup vegetable broth
1/2 medium sweet potato
1/2 medium red bell pepper
1/2 medium zucchini
1/4 medium red onion
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon za'atar seasoning
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 ounces feta cheese
1/2 medium lemon
2 tablespoons fresh parsley
1 tablespoon pine nuts
1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Rinse 1/2 cup of farro under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine farro with 1 cup of vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until tender but still chewy.
- 3
While the farro cooks, peel and dice 1/2 medium sweet potato into 3/4-inch cubes. Cut 1/2 red bell pepper, 1/2 zucchini, and 1/4 red onion into similar-sized pieces.
- 4
In a large bowl, toss the diced vegetables with 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of za'atar seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 5
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- 6
While vegetables are roasting, toast 1 tablespoon of pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden, watching carefully to prevent burning. Set aside.
- 7
Make the dressing by whisking together the juice of 1/2 lemon, remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of honey in a small bowl.
- 8
When farro is done, drain any excess liquid and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle with half of the dressing and toss to combine.
- 9
To assemble the bowl, place the dressed farro at the base, top with roasted vegetables, and crumble 2 ounces of feta cheese over everything.
- 10
Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. Drizzle the remaining dressing over the top and serve warm or at room temperature.
