You can serve these roasted carrots cold in a salad. I double up on the ingredients if that is my plan. I have used purple carrots here which I find much prettier than the orange ones.
Head straight on to the Recipe For Roasted Carrots ♥
When we moved to Gordons Bay in 2001 there was not one traffic in our village. Dave and I decided that if they ever installed one we would have to move. Of course, that was not a realistic proposition. One year we went overseas and came back to a robot at the local school. We did discuss moving but at that stage we had just finally got our businesses to be where we wanted them. And the thought of starting over was far worse than having to stop at a red light. It works on a sensor and so in December when I cannot get out of my road I will go around the school. That way the robot turns green for me and I can get onto the main road. Then the council installed a traffic light on the major road a few kilometres from us.

This was done to prevent accidents but has not been a success. When we are coming home from work we are often delayed more than one change of the light to turn onto our main road. If two robots weren’t enough to change our minds, three might have done it. A robot was installed at the other end of the main road and at least it has prevented more accidents. This one has been great for me over weekends and holidays when the village is busy. But the latest one is a disaster. The sensor works for people coming out of the minor road and shopping centre. When it triggers there is first a pedestrian robot. And only then a robot for the cars. This means people on the main road being delayed and queues building up. And our morning trip has doubled in time spent in the car.

Oh wow that makes such a difference to the day! I love roasted carrots as I adore the added sweetness.
it does, and mainly because other people do not know how to drive!
What an interesting place Gordons Bay must be to live Tandy! And I appreciate how these can be served hot or cold, especially in a salad on a hot and humid day like today! We are dying here of heat!!
Be blessed for the heat. It’s cold and wet here.
Progress comes to everyone and everywhere I suppose, Tandy. You can’t really hide from it. Lovely recipe.
I don’t know if I would call it progress – just the side effect of the increase population in our village 🙂
Mmm, I love roasted carrots so much, and you’re right, the purple ones are beautiful. 🙂
I just love the colour!
love that you flavored these with ginger, garlic and dill! what a tasty combo (:
Thank you Heather 🙂
I love purple carrots, they look so good don’t they. They’re not in season here yet but looking forward to when they are!
They have just gone out of season here so that was the last of them 🙂
