Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place it in the oven while it preheats.

For the Farro: 

  1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add farro and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, then rinse with cold water to cool.

For the Vegetables: 

  1. Meanwhile, toss sweet potato, onion, zucchini, and squash with oil, salt, and black pepper. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and coat generously with non-stick cooking spray. Spread vegetables out evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Roast, stirring once halfway through cooking time, until vegetables are fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Remove baking sheet from the oven, add the kidney beans, and stir to combine. Return the baking sheet to the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

For the Dressing: 

  1. Add the yogurt, buttermilk, garlic, chives, parsley, spinach, tarragon, and salt to the bowl of a small food processor. Blend, scraping down the sides as needed, until smooth. Transfer to a bowl then cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

For the Eggs: 

  1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Use a spoon to gently drop eggs into water; cook for 8 minutes. Drain carefully using a slotted spoon and place eggs in an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and slice the eggs in half.

For the Bowls: 

  1. To serve, drizzle farro and spinach among serving bowls. Toss vegetables and beans with 1 tablespoon dressing and distribute among bowls. Top with eggs and drizzle bowls with remaining dressing.
