Ingredients

Marinade
 3 tbsp balsamic vinegar
 2 tbsp coconut aminos (or reduced-sodium tamari)
 2 tsp organic avocado oil (optional)
 1 tsp black pepper (optional)
Roasted Ingredients
 2 cups organic red grapes
 ½ medium red onion (cut into ½ inch wedges)
 1 ½ cups radishes (destemmed and quartered)
Bowl Ingredients
 2 cups organic farro (cooked)
 1 batch of Tempeh Sausage (link in chef’s notes)
 2 cups organic microgreens (or chopped arugula)
 2 tbsp Apple Walnut Sage Dressing (link in the chef’s notes)

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2

Add balsamic vinegar, coconut aminos, and black pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine.

3

Place the grapes, red onion, and radishes in sections on the baking sheet. Evenly spread the balsamic vinegar mixture to each section (just enough to coat the onions, radishes, and grapes), and with clean hands toss each section until everything is evenly coated. Reserve any remaining balsamic vinegar as a finishing sauce once the onion, grapes, and radishes are done roasting.

4

Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the radishes are tender, the onions are caramelized and the grapes have burst.

5

While the grapes and veggies are baking make the Apple Walnut Sage Dressing and set aside.

6

Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked farro equally among two bowls.

7

Add the grapes, rashes, and onion.

8

Top with tempeh sausage and microgreens.

9

Drizzle with Apple Walnut Dressing and serve.
