Active Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 1 hour

Serves 4

• 8 cups water
• 1 1/4 cups farro
• 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed
• 4 cups cauliflower florets
• 1 sweet potato (16 ounces), peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus 1/4 cup, divided
• 2 teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning, divided
• 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1 bunch broccolini (6 ounces), cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
• 1 large clove garlic, grated
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; stir in farro. Return to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook at a low boil, undisturbed, until the grains have expanded but are still al dente, about 30 minutes, stirring in cannellini beans during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Remove from heat and drain. Cover to keep warm.
