Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
In a large bowl, toss the diced carrot, zucchini, red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and red onion with olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables roast, rinse the millet under cold running water in a fine mesh sieve.
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rinsed millet, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the millet is tender and most of the broth is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once cooked, fluff the millet with a fork. If needed, add a splash of water or broth to achieve desired porridge consistency.
Gently fold the roasted vegetables into the cooked millet porridge, mixing well to combine all flavors.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, and if desired, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for brightness.
Serve warm garnished with sliced green onions and chopped fresh parsley if using.
Enjoy this savory, nutrient-dense porridge as a comforting and wholesome breakfast for the whole family.
