  2. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.

  4. Rinse and drain canned chickpeas. In a skillet, warm olive oil and toss chickpeas for about 5 minutes until heated. Add salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine crème fraîche with fresh herbs, salt, pepper, and lemon juice to enhance flavors.
  6. In a serving bowl, layer roasted carrots, cooked farro, and chickpeas. Drizzle herbed crème fraîche over the top and sprinkle with spiced pepitas.
