I’ve been obsessed with a few things lately: farro, and roasted vegetables. Both are such healthy food choices, and together they make a filling and delicious meal. Try this Roasted Vegetables and Farro Green Goddess Bowl recipe and see for yourself.
I guess you could say I’m obsessed with bowl meals, too, especially judging by my Pinterest boards. I haven’t really made many of them, but the choices are endless — seriously endless!
For my Roasted Vegetables and Farro Green Goddess Bowl recipe, I added a dressing that also brings big flavor to the table. Green Goddess dressing is made with a bit of anchovy paste — don’t get worked up by that, unless you love anchovy paste, that is — fresh herbs, garlic, lemon, and some mayonnaise and plain Green yogurt.
Anchovy paste adds a salty and tangy flavor to whatever you use it with. I know people can freak out about anchovies, but I swear, the anchovy paste really adds to the dressing – nothing fishy. If you really feel strongly about it and must leave it out, try replacing it with black Mediterranean-style olives.
One of the vegetables I used for this dish is parsnips. I don’t cook with them often, but that will likely change soon. Parsnips are flavorful and when they’re roasted they turn very soft – quite different than they are in raw form. They taste a little sweet and perfumy to me, and in these pictures, they look a little like French fries!
I tossed the parsnips them with a sweet potato, and broccoli. Combined with the chewy farro and the herbed Green Goddess dressing – seriously, I’ve found a new favorite meal.
Not only is the bowl recipe delicious and healthy, it’s easy to make with minimal clean up after cooking. I love it!
Eat the leftovers the next day for lunch, cold, straight from the fridge, and don’t forget to spoon on a little more dressing.
