Roasted Sweet Potato
- 1 large sweet potato, diced

- Salt, to taste
Grain Base
Greens
Tahini Dressing
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Salt, to taste
Garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes, ensuring they become tender and slightly charred.
- Prepare Sweet Potato: Toss the diced sweet potato with olive oil and salt until evenly coated. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast Sweet Potato: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and have a slightly charred, caramelized exterior.
- Make Tahini Dressing: While the sweet potatoes roast, whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked farro, fresh baby spinach, and roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for a nutty finish. Serve immediately for a warm, flavorful meal.
Notes
- Use canned farro or pre-cooked farro to save time.
- Adjust the garlic quantity in the dressing according to your preference for pungency.
- For a vegan version, ensure tahini and other ingredients comply with your dietary preferences.
- Try adding other toppings like avocado or roasted chickpeas for extra protein and texture.
- The dressing can be thinned with a little water if it’s too thick.
