FAQ
Is millet gluten-free?
Yes, millet is naturally gluten-free, but check processing for cross-contamination if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
How do I cook millet for this bowl?
Rinse 1 cup millet, simmer in 2 cups water with a pinch of salt for 15–20 minutes until fluffy; let it rest 5 minutes.

Toss carrot sticks with oil, salt, and pepper; roast at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes until tender and lightly caramelized.
Can I modify this recipe for different diets or allergies?
Yes—it's vegan; for other needs, swap chickpeas with lentils or quinoa, or add dairy like yogurt or feta if you prefer; avoid any allergens you react to.
How should I store leftovers?
