Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tablespoon minced garlic (from 2 to 3 cloves)
1 1/2 cups farro, rinsed and drained
1 cup grated butternut squash, plus 1 1/2 cups in a 1/2-inch dice
1 cup peeled, grated golden beet, plus 1 1/2 cups in a 1/2-inch dice
4 cups vegetable broth
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled
Toasted pepitas, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium. Add garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add farro, grated vegetables, and broth; season generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover and bake on lower rack 15 minutes.
  • On a rimmed baking sheet, toss diced vegetables with sage and remaining 3 tablespoons oil; season to taste. Roast in a single layer on upper rack, stirring them and risotto halfway through, until vegetables are golden brown in places and farro is tender, 30 to 40 minutes more.
  • Stir half of cheese into farro; add hot water as needed until creamy. Season to taste, and serve with vegetables, remaining cheese, pepitas, and a drizzle of oil.
