Total time: 45 min
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients: 1 cup millet, rinsed and drained; 3 cups vegetable broth; 1 medium zucchini, diced into 1/2-inch pieces; 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced; 1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced; 1 small eggplant, diced into 1/2-inch pieces; 1 red onion, cut into wedges; 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika; 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional); 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped; Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Prepare the vegetables

In a large bowl, toss the zucchini, bell peppers, eggplant, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized around the edges.
Cook the millet

While the vegetables are roasting, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the millet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Add the vegetable broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the millet is tender.
Finish the porridge

Once the millet is cooked, fluff it with a fork. For a creamier consistency, stir in an additional 1/4 cup of hot water or broth if desired. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve

Divide the millet porridge among four bowls. Top each with a portion of the roasted vegetables. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if using, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
