Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut each head of romaine lettuce in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to form a dressing.
Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves generously with the dressing.
Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the grill.
Grill for about 2-3 minutes until the leaves are slightly wilted and have grill marks.
Flip the romaine halves and grill the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Once grilled to your liking, remove from heat and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley evenly over the grilled romaine.
Serve immediately, optional to drizzle remaining dressing on top for added flavor.
