Cook freekeh

Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce. Garlic Guide for Step 4 (dbl for 4 ppl): 1/4 tsp mild, 1/2 tsp medium and 1 tsp extra!

Toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 22-24 min. (NOTE: You will be adding the chicken to the baking sheet halfway through cooking.))
