Description

Indulge in a cozy bowl filled with roasted root vegetables and nutty farro, topped with creamy avocado and feta cheese—a perfect blend of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup farro
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 medium beets, peeled and chopped
  • 1 red onion, sliced into wedges
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese (or goat cheese)
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Veggies: Toss the chopped carrots and beets along with the onion wedges onto the baking sheet.
  3. Season and Roast: Drizzle olive oil over the veggies, season generously with salt and pepper, and roast for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Cook the Farro: While the veggies roast, cook farro according to package instructions (about 20-25 minutes in boiling water). Drain any excess water.
  5. Assemble Your Bowl: In serving bowls, layer cooked farro first, then top with roasted vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
  6. Add Finishing Touches: Slice fresh avocado just before serving and place it atop each bowl. Serve warm.
