Ingredients

  • 2 medium delicata squash, halved, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 1.5 cups dry farro
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2-3 tablespoons warm water
  • 1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 3 cups baby arugula or spinach
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook farro according to package instructions (usually about 25-30 minutes in salted water). Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk together miso paste, olive oil, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.

  3. 3

    Toss delicata squash half-moons with the miso glaze until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer on a sheet pan.

  4. 4

    Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping once, until caramelized and tender.

  5. 5

    Make tahini dressing: whisk together tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and warm water until smooth and pourable. Season with salt.

  6. 6

    In a large bowl, toss warm farro with half the tahini dressing and the greens until the greens just begin to wilt.

  7. 7

    Divide farro mixture among bowls, top with miso-glazed squash, drizzle with remaining tahini dressing, and scatter pine nuts and parsley over the top.
