Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
1 cup millet
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 ¼ cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 medium carrots, peeled, cut into 1” pieces
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
¼ cup roasted almonds, chopped
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves with tender stems
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add millet and cumin seeds and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until millet is tender, 25–35 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, toss carrots with 2 Tbsp. oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and golden brown, 15–20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small skillet over medium-low heat; cook almonds and cayenne, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

    Step 4

    Serve millet drizzled with oil and topped with carrots, cilantro, almond mixture.
