# How To Make It:
01 - Set oven to 400°F and allow to reach temperature.
02 - In a large bowl, toss diced carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato with olive oil, dried thyme, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until golden brown and tender.
03 - Rinse grains thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine grains with vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid, and simmer until tender, approximately 20 minutes for quinoa or 30 minutes for farro. Drain any excess liquid.
04 - Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped greens with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
05 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, warm water, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Add additional water as needed to reach desired consistency.
06 - Divide warm cooked grains evenly between four bowls. Top each bowl with roasted root vegetables and sautéed greens. Drizzle generously with prepared tahini dressing.
07 - Top each bowl with toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled feta cheese if desired, and fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
