Simply Roasted Carrots

All my son ever wants with his meal vegetable wise is sweetcorn , sweetcorn and yet more sweetcorn and I thought a change was order and plus there was no sweetcorn in the freezer. I think as a family we must purchase the worlds quota on sweetcorn I see yellow in my dreams. So I thought the humble carrot needed to be thrust into the limelight yes "come on down " I really do adopt the game show mentality when I am thinking of what to do with my fruit and vegetables asides sticking googly eyes on them.

Ingredients 

Carrots ( well there's a surprise) cut into batons.

A glug of olive oil 

Method 

Turn on the oven - no brainer 

And preheat to 180 c

Now some chefs will be telling you to coat the carrots with honey etc but you really don't have to. Also you can speed up the roasting process by either slightly cooking by whacking the carrot batons in the microwave for about  7 minutes or by a quick boil on the hob ( same timings )

Drain

Place in a oven proof dish

Glug some olive oil over it all and roast for about 20 minutes.
