Ingredients

Scale

Roasted Sweet Potato

  • 1 large sweet potato, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Grain Base

  • 1 cup cooked farro

Greens

  • 2 cups baby spinach

Tahini Dressing

  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste

Garnish

  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the sweet potatoes, ensuring they become tender and slightly charred.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked farro, fresh baby spinach, and roasted sweet potatoes. Drizzle generously with the tahini dressing.
  6. 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.
