Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a small bowl, soak the cranberries in 1 1/2 cups hot water until slightly softened, about 40 minutes; drain.

In a large bowl, toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing once, until lightly browned, about 30 minutes; let cool.

Meanwhile, in a pot of boiling, salted water, cook the farro until just tender, 15 minutes. Drain and let cool.

In a medium skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat until puffed and pale brown, about 5 minutes; let cool.

In a large bowl, combine the farro, roasted squash, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, scallions, thyme and the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
