Ingredients

• 1 pound cod fillets (fresh or thawed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup farro (rinsed)
• 3 cup vegetable broth
• 1 can chickpeas (rinsed and drained)
• 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Pat cod fillets dry and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the olive oil mixture over the cod fillets.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine rinsed farro and 3 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until farro is tender.
4. Toss halved Brussels sprouts with remaining 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Spread them on a separate baking sheet or alongside the cod if space allows.
5. Roast cod and Brussels sprouts for 12-15 minutes, or until cod is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and sprouts are tender-crisp. You may need to flip the Brussels sprouts halfway through.
6. Once farro is cooked, stir in rinsed and drained chickpeas. Serve the Herb Roasted Cod with Garlic-Herb Farro and Roasted Brussels sprouts.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated gently. If you prefer, a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of fresh parsley (if not avoided) can brighten the flavors at serving time.
