# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
02 - In a large bowl, combine carrots, parsnips, and sweet potato with olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until vegetables are golden and tender.
03 - Rinse grains thoroughly. In a medium saucepan, combine grains and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until tender, approximately 20 minutes for quinoa or 30 minutes for farro. Drain any excess liquid.
04 - In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chopped greens and a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally until wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
05 - In a bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, maple syrup, warm water, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust water content gradually to achieve desired consistency.
06 - Divide warm cooked grains evenly between four serving bowls. Top each bowl with roasted vegetables and sautéed greens. Drizzle generously with tahini dressing.
07 - Top each bowl with toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled feta cheese if desired, and fresh parsley. Serve while warm.
