Roasted Peppered Carrots

Ok, so I always wrap stuff up in tin foil and throw it on the grill....well we are out of propane and haven't filled back up....SO

--I took some whole carrots, peeled, sliced in half and wrapped them up in tin foil with some olive oil, freshly ground pepper, salt and onion powder and roasted them in the oven at 425 for about 30 minutes.

*Awesome flavor with a pepper kick!

You can also do this with zucchini or asparagus but instead of olive oil I use a couple slivers of butter.
