FARRO SALAD WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES, RED ONION, AND GOAT CHEESE

Farro Salad with Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Red Onion, and Goat Cheese image

I love me a farro salad! The hearty grain is an amazing base for all sorts of veggie combinations and it's super convenient to work with since you can cook it several days ahead. I tend to follow a loose formula: farro plus roasted veggies, a bright herb, a crunchy nut or seed, some creamy cheese, and a zingy dressing. Here, sweet potatoes and red onions caramelize gorgeously in the oven, while the earthy goat cheese and zippy vinaigrette balance out the sweetness. Feel free to play-roasted beets or winter squash would be lovely, as would hazelnuts, almonds, or feta.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, unpeeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick (12-mm-thick) rounds, large rounds halved
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch (12-mm) wedges
4 tablespoons (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more as needed for serving
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
3/4 cup (150 g) dried farro
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 radishes, thinly sliced on a mandoline
1 small handful fresh dill, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons salted pistachios, roasted and roughly chopped
2 to 3 ounces (55 to 85 g) goat cheese, broken into bite-size pieces
1/2 lemon, juiced
Pinch smoked paprika, for serving
Flaky sea salt, for serving

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Spread the sweet potato rounds and onion wedges on a baking sheet, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the baking sheet halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Cook the farro according to the package directions. Drain.
In a medium bowl, season the warm farro with the vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, salt, and pepper. Add the sweet potato, onion, radish, dill, pistachios, and goat cheese. To finish, drizzle the salad with the lemon juice and sprinkle with smoked paprika, flaky sea salt, and pepper. If the dish seems a little dry, drizzle it with extra oil.

Tips:

Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and smooth sweet potatoes without any blemishes or bruises. For even roasting, select sweet potatoes that are similar in size.
Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces: This will help them roast evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through properly, and if they are too small, they may overcook and become mushy.
Toss the sweet potatoes with oil and seasonings: This will help them caramelize and develop a flavorful crust. Use a good quality olive oil or avocado oil and a mix of herbs and spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Roast the sweet potatoes at a high temperature: This will help them caramelize and develop a crispy exterior. The ideal roasting temperature is 425°F (220°C).
Roast the sweet potatoes until they are tender: To check if the sweet potatoes are done, insert a fork or a toothpick into the center of one of the pieces. If it goes in easily, the sweet potatoes are ready.
Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Roasted sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect roasted sweet potatoes every time.
