Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Add freekeh, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until water is absorbed.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to make dressing.
  4. Step 4: Fluff cooked freekeh with a fork. Stir in mint and dill, then toss with 1/2 cup dressing until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Divide freekeh between bowls, top with roasted sweet potatoes, and drizzle with remaining dressing. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds before serving.
