Roasted vegetables are the best and I really enjoy the combination of carrots and ginger.

They sound great. I too have discovered that adding garlic to roasted things makes them more delicious. Next time you make roast lamb, try poking holes in it with a knife and put slivers of garlic in the holes. It'll melt in your mouth!
