Spray said foil with nonstick spray ON THE SHINY SIDE and layer the veggies on it in a single layer. (helpful hint: before loading the foil, place it on an inverted baking pan or one without sides, to support it all the way to the grill. Slide it off onto the grill. When ready, slide it back onto the inverted pan to support it all the way inside. No loss of veggies :bigsmile:)
Place lettuce and veggies onto the grill and lower the heat a little on the Lettuce side of the grill. (you want to GRILL the lettuce not char it
