Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss 2 diced carrots, 2 diced parsnips, and 1 diced beet with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet; roast for 25 minutes until caramelized and tender.
Step 2: In a medium pot, combine 1/2 cup rinsed farro, 1/2 cup rinsed quinoa, 1/4 cup millet, and 1 cup water; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until grains are tender and water is absorbed.
Step 3: Whisk together 3 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp honey, and 2 tbsp water until smooth and emulsified.
Step 4: Fluff cooked grains with a fork, then combine with roasted vegetables, 1 tbsp chopped parsley, and 1 tbsp chopped dill in a large bowl. Drizzle with tahini dressing and toss gently until evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
