From Jessica Merchant at the food blog How Sweet It Is, the pomegranate-roasted carrots are cooked with feta and brown butter. This makes an autumnally appropriate veggie option you can enjoy all season long and right through winter time. The seasonal side dish calls for ingredients including carrots (sliced length-wise), pomegranate molasses, olive oil, [browned unsalted butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-butter-with-parmesan-garlic-herb), [crumbled feta cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cranberry-baked-cheese), freshly chopped cilantro for garnish as well as salt and pepper. Jess went with rainbow carrots, which is perfect for people who enjoy their vegetables any way but simple. She also included instructions on browning your butter. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seasonal Veggie Dishes:** Creating innovative vegetable dishes that incorporate seasonal produce and unexpected ingredient combinations. - **Healthy Comfort Food:** Developing recipes that use nutrient-dense ingredients to create comforting, seasonal meals. - **Creative Side Dishes:** Making inventive side dishes that can be enjoyed all year round and incorporate various textures and flavors. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Developing new dishes and menus that incorporate seasonal produce and nutrient-dense ingredients. - **Cooking and Recipe Development:** Creating recipes that feature creative ingredient combinations and innovative techniques for cooking and preparation. - **Healthy Living and Wellness:** Promoting healthy eating habits by providing recipes that are both nutritious and delicious. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Colorful Root Veggie Fries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/root-vegetable-fries.md) - [Autumnal Vegetarian Gratins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autumn-vegetable-white-bean-gratin.md) - [Flavorful Veggie Side Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetable-sides.md) - [Carrot-Based Cheese Slices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-from-carrots.md) - [Savory-Sweet Potato Sides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-bean-whipped-sweet-potatoes.md) - [Comforting Cauliflower Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetgreen-late-fall-menu.md) - [Side Dish Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/savory-smoothie.md) - [Spiced Carrot Liqueurs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apologue-carrot.md) - [Fruity Root Vegetable Salads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roots-fruits-salad.md)
