Salty miso balances out sweet maple syrup to create a medley of flavors in our roasted carrot and farro bowl. You'll want to put this miso-maple butter on everything! Smarts: Farro is one of our favorite grains for grain bowls because of its hearty texture.
Cook farro - Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Give it a wrist turn of salt and add farro. If you bought semi-pearled or husked farro, it should take about 25 minutes to cook until al dente, tender but not soggy. (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Carrots - Chop into bite-sized pieces. In our photo, we used organic carrots, and just sliced them in half, lengthwise. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Green onions, green parts - Slice. (Can be done up to 3 days ahead)
Prep miso-maple butter - Melt butter on the stovetop or melt in the microwave, 30 to 60 seconds. Whisk in miso and maple syrup.
Prep miso-maple panko mix - Mix half of the butter with panko.
Garbanzo beans - Drain and rinse.

A new favorite.
Subbed white miso for red as its what we had on hand. Also made a side of corn. Came together SUPER quick. Definitely adding to regular rotation.
