In my quest to find yummy meatless recipes, I discovered farro, a versatile whole grain that my family loves. Match that with roasted vegetables and it doesn’t last long on the table. This recipe was easy to make and enjoyed by everyone – but you can mix it up based on what you have or what looks best in the store or at the farmer’s market!

Put beans, onion, grape tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil and a few pinches of salt and pepper on a sheet pan and toss to combine.
