Putting It All Together
- Start by roasting the vegetables. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Add the cubed sweet potato and halved brussels sprouts to a baking sheet, spreading them out so they aren’t crowded. Use two baking sheets if needed. Drizzle generously with olive oil and toss to combine. Season well with salt and pepper and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through, until golden brown.
- While the vegetables are roasting, make the vinaigrette by placing all the ingredients into a jar with a lid. Shake well until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- When the vegetables are golden brown, begin building the bowl. Start with a layer of farro (or other grain), and top with the roasted sweet potatoes and brussels sprouts, crushed pecans and finally the mussels. Finish with the maple vinaigrette and mix well to combine.
