Directions

Prep 15 minCook 65 min
  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 2‑quart casserole, large gratin, or 9×13‑inch baking dish with a little olive oil.

  2. 2

    Peel, remove seeds, and cut the butternut squash into 1‑inch cubes.

  3. 3

    Warm half of the olive oil in a small skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the millet and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 3 minutes. Spread the toasted millet evenly in the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    Scatter the squash and cranberries over the millet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, sprinkle with the minced sage, and drizzle with the maple syrup.

  5. 5

    Warm the vegetable broth in a saucepan over medium heat just until hot. Carefully pour it over the ingredients in the baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

  6. 6

    Uncover and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. If the dish looks dry, add a tablespoon or two of water or broth. Bake until bubbling and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds over the top and return to the oven. Bake until the seeds are toasted and the millet is tender throughout, about 10 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
