# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Toss broccoli florets and red onion wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet.
03 - Roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until broccoli is golden and crisp at the edges.
04 - Combine farro and water or broth in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until tender but chewy. Drain excess liquid.
05 - While farro cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant without browning. Remove from heat and stir in lemon zest, juice, honey or maple syrup, and optional chili flakes.
06 - Fluff the cooked farro with a fork and season with a pinch of salt. Spread it on a serving plate or into individual bowls.
07 - Top the farro with roasted broccoli and onions. Drizzle the garlic-lemon dressing evenly over the vegetables.
08 - Sprinkle with chopped parsley, toasted nuts, and crumbled feta cheese if desired. Serve warm.
