Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup farro
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 small eggplant, diced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil

- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of farro, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the farro is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- While the farro is cooking, spread the diced eggplant, sliced zucchini, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and sliced red onion on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
- Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- Once the farro and vegetables are ready, divide the cooked farro among 4 serving bowls. Top each bowl with the roasted vegetables, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
- Serve the roasted vegetable farro bowls immediately and enjoy!
