Instructions
Creating a delicious Farro and Roasted Vegetable Salad is effortless when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get ready for roasting the vegetables.
2. Cook Farro: In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth or water to a boil. Add the farro, reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the farro cooks, wash and chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
4. Toss with Oil and Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, add the vegetables, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until the veggies are evenly coated.
5. Roast the Vegetables: Spread the seasoned vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
6. Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked farro with the roasted vegetables. Gently mix in feta cheese, if using, and chopped parsley for added flavor.
7. Add Lemon Juice: Drizzle lemon juice over the salad and toss gently to combine. Adjust seasoning to taste.
8. Serve or Chill: You can serve the salad warm or let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours to enhance flavors.
