We investigate the asymptotics of the expected number of real roots of random trigonometric polynomials $$ X_n(t)=u+\frac{1}{\sqrt{n}}\sum_{k=1}^n (A_k\cos(kt)+B_k\sin(kt)), \quad t\in [0,2π],\quad u\in\mathbb{R} $$ whose coefficients $A_k, B_k$, $k\in\mathbb{N}$, are independent identically distributed random variables with zero mean and unit variance. If $N_n[a, b]$ denotes the number of real roots of $X_n$ in an interval $[a,b]\subseteq [0,2π]$, we prove that $$ \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{\mathbb{E} N_n[a,b]}{n}=\frac{b-a}{π\sqrt{3}} e^{-\frac{u^2}{2}}. $$
