Ingredients

Scale

For the Farro:

  • 1 cup farro, rinsed
  • 3 cups water or vegetable broth
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Roasted Vegetables:

  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Lemon Yogurt Drizzle:

  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tbsp toasted pine nuts or walnuts
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Cook the Farro: In a saucepan, bring water or vegetable broth to a boil. Add rinsed farro and salt, then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 25–30 minutes until the farro is tender but still chewy. Drain any excess liquid and set aside.
  2. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss diced zucchini, red bell pepper, sliced red onion, and cherry tomatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Yogurt Drizzle: In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide the warm farro among serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables.
  5. Finish & Serve: Drizzle each bowl generously with the lemon yogurt sauce. Add optional toppings such as crumbled feta cheese, toasted pine nuts or walnuts, fresh chopped parsley or dill, and sliced avocado. Serve warm for a nourishing, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Farro can be soaked overnight to reduce cooking time to about 15–20 minutes.
  • Vegetables can be swapped with seasonal options like eggplant or carrots.
  • Use vegetable broth instead of water for richer flavor in the farro.
  • For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt and omit feta cheese.
  • Toast nuts before adding for extra crunch and flavor.
