Passover Grilled Vegetables

Desserts are tricky on Passover if you have multiple food allergies but the sides aren't.
Think veggies! Grilled, sauteed, mashed, roasted. Add some color and nutrition to your Passover menu!Preheat your oven to the highest temp, throw some veggies in a big shallow pan, coat lightly with oil, season (garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper), and bake. Bake (uncovered) till veggies wilt a bit and get a little "burnt' on the edges (atleast 15 minutes.).
That's it!
