Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss butternut squash cubes and red onion wedges with 2-4 a few glugs of olive oil, then season generously with salt, pepper and pinch of red pepper flakes. Put on two rimmed sheet pans (lined with parchment paper for easier clean up) and roast for 30-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until squash and red onion are well caramelized. Cool on sheet pan for 10 minutes for veggies to firm up.

Meanwhile, cook farro. Bring a large saucepot of water to boil just as if you were going to cook pasta. Salt the water generously, add farro, and boil until al dente, which is about 20-25 minutes for most farro. Drain and toss with a little olive oil and few tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

Next, cook the kale. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add a glug of oil, the thinly sliced garlic, and a small pinch of red pepper flakes. After about 30 seconds, add in the kale and saute for 3-5 minutes until wilted. Don't take it too far. It should maintain some structure and crunch. Season with salt to taste.
