How can I shoot raycasts with slightly modified angles?

Question

I am already shooting a forward raycast (indicated by blue in following picture) , but I also want to shoot a raycast angles slightly to the left and right from the transform.forward. I want to do this through script instead of creating child transforms and using those transforms' forward. How would I implement this? Here is a picture to show what I mean:

Set the direction of your raycast to be Quaternion.AngleAxis(transform.up, offsetAngle) * transform.forward for whatever value of offsetAngle assuming your transform's upward direction is pointing out of the screen.

Thanks, this worked. Very straightforward. Just one thing, in the Angle axis function parameters were flipped around I think.
