When you have a roast in the oven, you might as well add some vegetables.  Carrots are an inexpensive side dish, and with a few added ingredients, these come out rich and sweet and make a perfect side dish.

1 lb carrots, washed and trimmed
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper
a few fresh thyme leaves or pinch of dried

Preheat the oven to 400F. Cut the carrots into thick batons – try and make them similar sizes and then they will cook evenly. Place in a roasting tin, add the oil, honey and lemon juice and seasoning and toss well to mix.  Roast the carrots for 20-25 mins, stirring halfway through this time, until the carrots are golden and tender. Scatter over the herbs and serve warm.
