Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss drained chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, and 1 tsp dried oregano; spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking pan halfway.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, combine uncooked farro and 2 cups vegetable broth in a saucepan, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes until tender and liquid absorbed.
  3. Step 3: Whisk lemon zest, juice, remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, and 2 tbsp chopped parsley in a small bowl. Once farro is done, fluff with a fork, then fold in lemon-herb dressing and 3 cups baby spinach until spinach wilts, about 1 minute.
  4. Step 4: Divide farro mixture into bowls, top with roasted chickpeas and crumbled feta, and garnish with extra parsley.
