Millet Pilaf with Roasted Carrot and Fennel

For this pilaf, I roasted a pan of veggies (carrot, fennel, and onion) to toss with the millet. These veggies kept the flavors light and the look fresh, but any pan of your favorite roasted veggies will do quite nicely. I dressed this pilaf very simply with fresh lemon juice and hazelnut oil.
