roasted harvest vegetable farro & feta bowl

this vegetarian roasted harvest vegetable and farro bowl comes together quickly, is full of fall flavor and provides filling whole grains, fat and fiber for a meal that will hold you over for hours!

This is my absolute new favorite meal.

It’s perfect for this time of year in New England – right on the cusp of Fall and Winter where you find yourself wanting something warm and comforting but still yearing to take advantage of all the amazing produce that Autumn has to offer.

It also has one of the best flavors profiles.  You get hit with savory notes from the olive-oil roasted root vegetables which is offset with the sweetness of the sautéed apples and dried cranberries.  It’s the trail mix of main meals.

The farro lends a perfect rich nuttiness which is amplified by the toasted walnuts sprinkled throughout.

The dish is finished off perfectly with a hefty helping of feta cheese which gets melted and creamy when it hits the warm roasted vegetables and cooked farro.

From texture to taste, this dish truly hits all notes.  It’s also a nutritional powerhouse providing whole grains from the farro, healthy fats from the olive oil and walnuts, a sprinkling of protein from the feta cheese, fruit from the dried cranberries and apples as well as vegetables from the brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes.

It’s the perfect way to celebrate Autumn coming to a close and Winter rushing in.  Each bite will fill your belly and warm your soul – not much more you could ask for in a meal this time of year if you ask me.
