Cover with a sheet of foil and place in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, then return the tray to the oven for about 15 minutes until the carrots brown slightly . 2 In an ovenproof pan, gently saute the onion, garlic and spices in a knob of butter for 10 minutes until soft. 3 Add the roasted carrots, olives, lemon zest, 50g butter, honey and barley, then season.
