Ingredients

  • 1 cup farro (rinsed)
  • 6 large carrots (peeled and cut into halves or quarters)
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the farro: In a medium pot, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed farro, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until farro is tender. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
  • Roast the carrots: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the carrots with olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, maple syrup, salt, and pepper. Spread the carrots on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast the carrots: Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Combine: Once the carrots are done, mix them with the cooked farro.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy warm.
