Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.

  • Next, place carrots on a separate baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, tarragon, salt and pepper and place them in the oven. Roast carrots until soft, approximately 25-35 minutes.
  • While farro, chickpeas, and carrots are cooking, make the sauce by combining yogurt, lemon zest and juice and tarragon in a bowl; set aside.
  • Once farro is cooked, add spinach to the saucepan and stir until spinach is soft. You may need to add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place farro on a plate and top it with the roasted carrots, yogurt sauce and chickpeas.
