Expert Tips

Grill baskets make it easy to hold and turn vegetables on the grill, but a sheet of foil with a few holes poked through it also works.

    Came out great big hit even with the boys that didn't like to eat their veggies, I would recommend cutting the potato wedges rather small I left them chunky and they started to turn black when they were cooking, I put extra lemon pepper and it came out great. Will do again.
