- 1.25 Teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.50 Teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:
<ol><li>Heat the oven to 425 F. Toss the squash with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the pepper on a rimmed sheet pan.</li><li>Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once, until the squash is browned at the edges and tender in the center.</li><li>Meanwhile, simmer the farro in salted water until chewy and tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.</li><li>Whisk the lemon juice, Dijon, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl.</li><li>Add the warm farro and toss so it absorbs the dressing. Fold in the roasted squash, feta, parsley, and pumpkin seeds.</li><li>Taste and adjust with more lemon juice or salt before serving.</li></ol>

Notes:
