Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the chopped carrots with olive oil in a large bowl and spread them in a single layer on the baking pan. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  3. Heat a splash of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add diced shallots and sauté until soft, about 3-4 minutes. Add farro and toast for 2 minutes before adding vegetable broth.
  4. Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until the farro absorbs the liquid and becomes tender.
  5. In a blender, combine olive oil, ginger, lemon juice, orange juice, and maple syrup to prepare the dressing. Blend until smooth.
  6. Add fresh dill fronds to the dressing in the blender and pulse a few times to incorporate.
  7. Combine the roasted carrots and cooked farro in a serving bowl. Drizzle with the citrus dressing and toss gently to combine. Serve warm or chilled.
