Instructions
Cook the Farro
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook farro according to package directions, usually about 25 to 30 minutes until tender but still pleasantly chewy. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Roast the Vegetables
Toss cherry tomatoes and zucchini with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan. Roast at 425 degrees for 20 minutes until caramelized and slightly blistered. The tomatoes should burst and become jammy.
Make the Lemon Tahini Dressing
Whisk together tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, one minced garlic clove, and 3 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and pourable. Season with salt and add more water if needed to reach a drizzleable consistency.
Assemble the Bowls
Divide cooked farro among four bowls and top with the roasted vegetables. Drizzle generously with the lemon tahini dressing and garnish with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or crumbled feta cheese if desired.
