INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat 2 tsp vegetable oil in small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add curry powder and millet and cook until aromatic and beginning to pop, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water and a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and grains are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. (4-servings: use 4 tsp vegetable oil, 2 cups water)
Meanwhile, combine squash, shallot, 2 tsp vegetable oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper on foil-lined baking sheet and toss to coat. Roast until golden brown in places, 15 to 16 minutes. Add maple and walnuts, stir to combine, and continue to roast until squash and nuts are sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. (4-servings: use 4 tsp vegetable oil)
Stir together lemon zest, lemon juice, apple, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper in medium bowl. Divide curried millet between two bowls and add maple-roasted butternut. Top with apple relish. Enjoy! (4-servings: use juice from 1½ lemons)
