📝 Preparation Steps
1
To roast the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Toss the cauliflower florets with the olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt, and arrange it in an even layer across the pan. Roast for 25 to ⏱️ 35 minutes, tossing halfway, until the cauliflower is tender and deeply golden on the edges.
2
To cook the farro: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed farro with at least three cups water (enough water to cover the farro by a couple of inches). Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, and cook until the farro is tender to the bite but still pleasantly chewy. (Pearled farro will take around ⏱️ 15 minutes; unprocessed farro will take 25 to ⏱️ 40 minutes.) Drain off the excess water and mix in the olive oil, garlic and salt. Set aside.
