Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; stir in farro.
Remove from heat and drain.
Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, place cauliflower florets and sweet potato on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potato and cauliflower until almost tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and push the sweet potatoes and cauliflower to one side.
Stir 1/4 cup of the chimichurri into the farro mixture.
It has a chewy texture and sweet taste and provides a variety of vitamins and minerals.
One cup of cooked farro delivers about 8 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber, per theUSDA.
Together, this combo helps keep you full and satisfied.
you’re free to find it in grocery stores as pearled or semi-pearled.
Word of caution: Its not gluten-free.
Caulifloweris a low-carb cruciferous vegetable, and provides a wealth of nutrition and health benefits.
The nutrients and plant compounds in cauliflower have been associated with reduced inflammation, cancer and heart disease risk.
The fiber in cauliflower acts as a prebiotic, feeding your beneficial gut bacteria.
Both vegetables belong to the cabbage family.
Broccoli looks like it could be baby broccoli with thin, tender stalks and tiny leaves and florets.
The flavor is milder than broccoli, and you’re able to cook it without prepping.
If you’re not using parchment paper, we suggest aluminum foil or a silicone baking mat.
If you opt for the silicone mat, be sure it can withstand the oven temperature.
