Rinse the millet under cold water. Combine with water in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover, and cook until fluffy. Let cool slightly.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Add the grated carrot and zucchini, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, mix cooked millet, sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, smoked paprika, soy sauce, nutritional yeast (if using), salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into burger patties.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Cook patties for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Toast buns if desired, then assemble burgers with preferred toppings.
Ensure the millet is cooled before mixing; this helps the burgers bind together better.
Adjust the spices according to preference for more flavor.
