FARRO AND ROASTED VEGETABLE GRAIN BOWLS
I love this grain bowl because I can prep each component of the recipe-the cooked farro, roasted vegetables and vinaigrette-in advance, and hold them separately in the refrigerator. When it's time to eat, it's as easy as putting all the components together and serving! It's equally as delicious served cold as a salad or reheated as a grain bowl. If I want some protein, I can easily serve it up with some roasted salmon, shredded rotisserie chicken or even a fried egg but it also works great as a side dish. This recipe also travels well since it can be served cold, room temperature or hot, so it's the perfect addition to your next picnic or outdoor gathering.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Arrange the squash, bell pepper and fennel each in their own section on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss the vegetables to coat them, keeping each in its own section. Roast for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the greens with 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper on another baking sheet. Set aside.
- After 20 minutes, remove the roasted vegetables and flip them over. The vegetables will be brown on the first side and almost tender. Place back in the oven along with the greens and roast until the greens are wilted and the vegetables are completely tender but still hold their shape, about 10 minutes more. Let cool.
- While the vegetables cool, make the vinaigrette. Whisk together the orange and lemon juice, honey, Dijon and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Slowly stream in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil while whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Once cooled, dice the roasted peppers and fennel into 1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, toss together the roasted vegetables, greens, Big Batch Farro and vinaigrette. At this point you can store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. When ready to serve, add to a serving bowl and top with the feta, fennel fronds and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Bring a large pot of water (about 3 quarts) to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt; the water should be well seasoned like you are cooking pasta. Pour in the farro and stir. Lower the heat slightly so the water is at a rapid simmer. Cook the farro until tender with a slight chew, 13 to 15 minutes. Immediately drain the farro and run under cold water to cool completely. Drain again to remove excess liquid. Makes 4 cups.
ROASTED VEGETABLE SALAD BOWL
This versatile smoky-sweet salad is for anyone tired of a big bowl of greens. We've tossed your favorite vegetables with paprika and maple syrup before roasting them until caramelized. Drizzled with a tangy Dijon-orange vinaigrette, the bowl is topped with tangy goat cheese and crunchy pecans-though any nuts or vegan cheese options work. If want even to make it even heartier, toss in some grains like farro or quinoa.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Arrange the mushrooms, broccoli, carrot and parsnip on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the cinnamon, smoked paprika, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and toss until well coated. Make sure the vegetables are in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast until they are softened and caramelized in spots, 28 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the vinegar, Dijon, shallot, orange juice, remaining 1 teaspoon maple syrup, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil into the bowl until emulsified (this should take about 2 minutes).
- Divide the kale among 4 bowls. Top each bowl with some roasted vegetables, chopped pecans and goat cheese. Drizzle with some of the dressing. This can be served warm or cold. Store any leftover dressing in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Toss the chickpeas with the curry powder, 1 teaspoon of the oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Place on one side of a baking sheet. Arrange the onions next to the chickpeas, then the sweet potatoes and lastly the mushrooms. Toss the onions, sweet potatoes and mushrooms with the remaining 3 teaspoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper. Bake until the chickpeas are a bit crunchy and the sweet potatoes are softened and starting to turn brown in a few spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the yogurt, tahini and juice of half the lemon in a small bowl. Slice the remaining lemon into wedges.
- Divide the quinoa between two bowls. Arrange half the vegetables and avocado slices on top of the quinoa, leaving a space for the yogurt in the middle. Dollop the yogurt in the empty space and serve with the lemon wedges.
