Ingredients

2 cups roasted butternut squash

2 medium Gala apples, sliced (skin on or off)

1 (15 oz.) can organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

1 cup pure maple syrup

1 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

½ teaspoon cumin

Pinch of red pepper flakes

2 cups cooked farro (about 1 cup dried; or substitute with basmati or brown rice)

Handful of pumpkin seeds

1 cup dried cranberries, organic

1 cup chopped pecans, toasted

Shaved or grated dairy-free parmesan cheese

Drizzle of vegan ranch dressing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spread butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  3. On another baking sheet, toss chickpeas and sliced apples with olive oil, maple syrup, salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, oregano, basil, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Roast for 20–25 minutes, stirring halfway, until chickpeas are crispy and apples are lightly caramelized.
  4. Cook farro according to package directions (about 25–30 minutes for dried farro). Drain and fluff with a fork.
  5. Assemble bowls with farro at the base. Top with roasted butternut squash, chickpeas, and apples.
  6. Garnish with pumpkin seeds, cranberries, pecans, and dairy-free parmesan.
  7. Drizzle with vegan ranch dressing and serve warm.

Notes

For gluten-free, swap farro with quinoa, rice, or millet.

Sweet potatoes can replace butternut squash.

Try tahini or balsamic dressing instead of vegan ranch.

Toast pecans at 350°F for 5–7 minutes until fragrant.

Store toppings like pumpkin seeds separately to keep them crunchy.
