Creating Warm Farro Salad with Roasted Vegetables & Tahini Dressing is straightforward if you follow these easy-to-follow steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the vegetables.
2. Cook the Farro: In a medium saucepan, combine the farro and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, until tender. Drain any excess liquid.
3. Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped red bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli florets. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss until evenly coated.
4. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through.
5. Make the Tahini Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and maple syrup (if using). Adjust the consistency with additional water as needed, and season with salt to taste.
6. Combine Farro and Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the cooked farro and roasted vegetables. Drizzle with the tahini dressing and toss gently to combine.
7. Serve Warm: Garnish your salad with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
