Trim the green part of the carrots down to a centimetre or so. Scrape the carrots and cut into two lenghtways.

Peel and chop the garlic into very small dice. Smear an ovenproof dish with a little olive oil. Lay the carrots in the dish face down and sprinkle a little olive oil over them. Distribute the garlic over the carrots and lighly season with salt and pepper.

Put the carrots into an oven at 375°F/190°C/Reg5 and cook for around 15 minutes.

Chop up the tarragon and if the carrots are almost cooked, sprinkle over the tarragon and spoon over a little oil from the pan. Cook for a few minutes more and serve.
