Make this Shabbos staple in one pan with no pots or cleanup required!
We’ve changed so much of how we cook over the last few years here on BCP. We started creating 9×13 dinners that are easy, quick and delicious…then it was no-mixer cakes…then we began baking dishes we usually prepare on stove top, saving the job of washing a pot and babysitting that flame.
If farfel is a staple that you can’t do without (or even if you don’t prepare it often), you’ll enjoy the convenience of this super easy version (made in half 9×13 inch pan!) See how to prepare more grains in the oven here!
Farfel, oil and seasoning in a 9×6 inch pan (half 9×13 inch pan).
Toss to combine.
Cover with 2 ½ cups cold water.
Fluff with fork and enjoy.
Farfel in the Oven
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz package of farfel
- 2-3 tbsp oil
- 1 ½ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- dash black pepper
- pinch – 1 tsp sugar
- ¼ tsp paprika (optional)
- 2 ½ cups cold water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Combine farfel, oil and seasoning in a 9×6 inch pan (half 9×13 inch pan). Toss to combine.
- Cover with 2 ½ cups cold water and cover pan tightly with foil.

I just started doing this a few months ago. It’s a great quick side to go with a saucy meat.
wow this is really helpful. Serve ferfel every Friday night! thanks!!
My Farfel is 12 Oz. How can I adjust the recipe accordingly?
Thanks
Hi. I would do 3 T oil, same spices and 3.75 cups cold water
Thank you
They don't sell farfel where I live. Can I substitute pearled couscous?
yes
I love using chicken broth instead of water
I use the frozen garlic for this and it’s heaven!
My family loved this! I need to make more for Shabbos because somebody (won’t say if it’s husband or a kid) ate 1/3 of the pan. I’m excited to have a new, easy side dish! I added a can of mushrooms (drained) before baking and it’s great.
Has anyone made this with a 10 oz bag? I want to know what adjustments to make.
Doubt anyone will see this question on a poat from 2 years ago but trying my luck…
