Roasted Carrots with Honey and Tarragon

Ingredients

• Carrots
• Rapeseed oil
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tbsp Honey
• Fresh chopped tarragon

1. Peel and cut your carrot into chunky batons, and blanch and drain.

2. Roast on a tray with some rapeseed oil and salt and pepper until crisp on the outside but soft in the middle, pour over some honey and roast till golden brown, finish with some fresh chopped tarragon and serve.

It also gives a nice flavour to roast meats like Gammon, Pork and Lamb, roast the joint as normal, and for the last 10-15 minutes, spoon some honey over the joint and glaze.
