Gluten-Free Grain & Roasted Root Vegetable Bowl with White Beans

This cozy dinner bowl swaps traditional farro for a naturally gluten-free grain like buckwheat groats or certified gluten-free oats groats (or a gluten-free grain blend), keeping all the nutty, chewy texture you love without any wheat. Roasted carrots, parsnips, and red onion caramelize in the oven until sweet and slightly crisped at the edges, then get tossed with creamy white beans for protein and heartiness. A bright lemon-herb vinaigrette ties everything together with a zippy, fresh finish that cuts through the richness of the roasted vegetables. Perfect for meal prep or a comforting weeknight dinner, this bowl is entirely plant-based, packed with fiber, and endlessly customizable. Serve it warm right after roasting, or enjoy it at room temperature for an easy make-ahead lunch. Since this recipe relies on naturally gluten-free whole foods and a certified gluten-free grain, it's safe for those managing celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, while still being satisfying enough for anyone at the table.
