Total Time 45 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups medium-small cauliflower florets
  • 2 cups medium dice sweet potato (keep skin intact)
  • 4 teaspoons olive oil, divided (or enough to lightly coat veggies and potatoes)
  • 1 cup medium-small broccoli florets
  • Pink sea salt, to taste (for cooking water and seasoning bowl)
  • 1/4 cup farro, rinsed
  • 1/2 cup sliced or diced avocado
  • 2 tablespoons high-quality tahini (no added oil or sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons sea salt crispy chickpea snacks (I use Biena, roast your own if you wish)
  • 1 tablespoon sliced fresh mint
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 425. Line a rimmed large metal baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cauliflower and sweet potato in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip, then create space for the broccoli on the same pan. Carefully toss the broccoli in 1 teaspoon olive oil. Then roast all of the veggies and sweet potatoes until tender and lightly brown along the edges, about 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, bring a medium-small pot of salted water to a boil. Rinse your farro, then add to the boiling water. Boil the farro (uncovered) for 25 minutes or until chewy-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • In a medium-large dinner bowl, layer the roasted cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato, and farro. Top with avocado, tahini, lemon, crispy chickpeas, mint, parsley, sesame, salt and black pepper, to taste.
