Mix in your preferred binding ingredients, like honey, maple syrup, or egg whites, as well as oil or butter, spices, seasonings, or even coffee grounds. Fire up your grill until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (usually medium heat), and leave enough space to apply some indirect heat to the granola. Just like in the oven, granola can turn from perfectly toasted to burned in a blink. If your grill is gas-powered, leave some of the burners off. If you're cooking up a snack on a charcoal grill, move your hot coals off to one side.</p><p>Tear off a sizable square of aluminum foil. If it's not the strong stuff, use two layers. Spray the foil generously with nonstick cooking spray. Dollop your granola on the center of your square and fold each edge of aluminum inward. You want to leave a gap open to let some air out and to keep an eye on your granola as it cooks. <b>Place your packet over indirect heat. Every 10 minutes, open your granola packet and give it a stir until every morsel looks crisp and golden.</b> Err on the side of caution, as granola can easily taste burnt no matter how you bake it. Also be sure to handle your packet with care using oven mitts, tongs, or a kitchen towel. Let the foil contents cool completely before serving.</p></div></body>
