Roasted Sweet Potato Farro Bowl with Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette
It was so much fun showing this quick and easy bowl to Jessica D’Ambra from New Jersey on Air. The most time consuming part is waiting for the sweet potatoes to roast. If you haven’t added Smoked Paprika to your spice rack, it is time! I use it on vegetables, when making a bbq chicken or if I want to add a hint of smokiness to a dressing. You will definitely have a lot of fun adding it to your dishes for a new spin.
Roasted Sweet Potato Farro Bowl with Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette
ingredients
1 sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1 inch (ish) cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 cup farro, cooked according to package directions
1/2 cup arugula or baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup goat cheese
Smoked Paprika Vinaigrette
`1/2cup olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp champagne vinegar (you can use white wine vinegar or rice vinegar as well!)
1 /2 tbsp shallots, chopped
1 tsp tarragon, chopped
1 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
a pinch of sugar
instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper until all the pieces are coated.
Place in the oven for about 30 minutes, turning the sweet potato pieces at about 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven once the sweet potatoes have started to brown and look caramelized on the edges. Reserve.
In the meantime, cook the farro according to package directions and drain. Add the farro to a medium to large size mixing bowl.
In shallow bowl whisk together the ingredients for the vinaigrette until well combined.
Pour the vinaigrette over the farro, toss gently.
When ready to serve assemble between two bowls . Use the farro as the base, top with arugula, then add half the sweet potatoes to one bowl and half to the other. Sprinkle the goat cheese on top and serve.
RECIPE NOTES: I had leftovers for lunch the next day! If you have time let the dressing and farro mingle together for 20 minutes before serving. In addition, if the bowl is gently mixed that is okay too. It ended up mixing together in the tupperware and was totally fine the next day!
