Ingredients
- 1 14 oz can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 cup arugula
- 8 oz farro
- 1 avocado peeled, seeded, and sliced
- 2 eggs
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- 1 sweet potato cubed
- 1/2-1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Cherry Tomatoes
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- drizzle of olive oil
- salt/pepper
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Creamy Lemon Dressing
- 1 lemon juiced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- salt/pepper
Instructions
Roasted Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Arrange cubed sweet potato on rimmed baking sheet and drizzle olive oil over and add seasonings. Mix up with your hands to evenly coat all of the sweet potato.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges start to get brown and crispy. Cover with a sheet of foil and set aside.
Cherry Tomatoes
- Meanwhile heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper, and garlic. Cook for 10-12 minutes until a few start to burst open and they become soft.
- Remove from heat.
Farro
- Cook the farro according to the manufacturer's instructions. I recommend the 8 oz pouch from Target I linked to above in ingredients to speed this process up. It only takes 90 seconds to cook in the microwave and to improve the consistency I mixed it with a 1/4 cup chicken broth over the stove until it was warm.
Creamy Lemon Dressing
- Add ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
Poached Eggs
- Do this step last to have freshly poached eggs on your bowls. Add 1 1/2 inches of water in a medium saucepan and let come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Add eggs and let cook for 5 minutes to get a thick but still runny center.*
Arrange Bowls
- Fill bottom of bowls with half of the farro and half of the black beans. Fill in with the roasted sweet potatoes, tomatoes and farro. Top with avocado slices, arugula, and the poached egg. Dress the arugula with the Creamy Lemon Dressing and ahh, it's time to dig in to this bountiful bowl!
Notes
*1. To poach your eggs, I totally recommend using these poachpods (affiliate link). They make the whole process effortless. The result if perfectly poached eggs every time. Otherwise, you can also place the rimmed part of a mason jar lid in the bottom of your saucepan at the beginning and once the water starts to boil, drop the egg into the middle of the lid and it will contain the egg better.
