Ingredients
  

  • 1 small acorn squash peeled and sliced
  • 2 carrots peeled cut into sticks
  • 2 parsnips peeled and cut into coins
  • 2 shallots sliced
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • mushrooms
  • 1 cup farro
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons honey
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • chopped parsley
  • pomegranate arils

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil. Lay all of the vegetables out in a single layer (I add the mushrooms about halfway through) and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 20 minutes.
  • Take the broccolini off of the pan and put on a plate. Add the mushrooms and bake for 20 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender.
  • This is farro. Rinse 1 cup of farro under cold water.
  • Add to a saucepan and cover with 2 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil and add a lid. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 20 to 30 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • Make the dressing by whisking lemon juice, honey, salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle olive oil slowly while whisking. Here is the easiest (and least messy) way that I have found to peel a pomegranate. Slice a pom in half. Submerge in a bowl of water. Pull the arils out of the skin while underwater. The seeds will fall to the bottom and the fibers will rise to the top.
  • Put the arils into a container and set aside.
  • Now you have all the pieces. Pour half of the dressing into the farro and toss to coat. Top with vegetables and drizzle the remaining dressing over.
  • Sprinkle with pomegranate and chopped parsley.
