    Full steps on how to make a farro bowl are in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a quick walk through. 

    1. Cook your farro as directed on the package. 
    2. Preheat the oven and add your sweet potatoes, chickpeas and bell peppers on pan. Drizzle with oil and season. 
    3. Bake as directed, flipping halfway through. 
    4. While vegetables are cooking you will mix up your dressing. 
    5. Add the farro, and veggies into the bowl along with cucumbers and then drizzle over the dressing. Top with pepitas and enjoy. 

    Helpful Tips For Success

    Sheet Pan 

    I like to use a rimmed sheet pan when I roast vegetables in the oven. I find that it is going to offer the best space so you can cook in a single layer. Otherwise you will find you need a larger pan so things don't overlap. 

    Flipping Halfway Through Roasting 

    Make sure that you flip the vegetables half way through roasting. That way both sides of the vegetables will brown evenly. 

    Variations to Farro Bowl

    Dressing 

    I made this homemade dressing but you are more than welcome to swap it out with something else if you want. I find the dressing compliments the farro and vegetables nicely. 

    Vegetables Used 

    So this dish can be made with almost any vegetable. Broccoli, kale, spinach, zucchini and the list goes on. Feel free to pick and choose what vegetables you are wanting. 

    Artificial Sweetener 

    If you do not want to use maple syrup you can use an agave or artificial sweetener of choice or leave the syrup out altogether if you don't want added sugar into the bowl. 

    Farro Bowl FAQs

    farro bowl

    What does farro go with?

    Farro is very versatile, and is generally used in making bowls or salads. I love making bowls as you can pile on all the veggies you want and enjoy the rich flavors. 

    Is farro a carb or protein?

    You will find that farro is a high protein grain. You will find it is a great way to get some added protein in to your daily diet. It does contain carbohydrates as well. 

    Which is healthier quinoa or farro?

    Farro has more carbs but also is more nutrient rich compared to quinoa. So it is up to you if you want to reduce your carb intake or not. But both of these items are healthy compared to, say, rice.
