Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads Romaine lettuce hearts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the Romaine lettuce heads in half lengthwise, ensuring that each leaf is still attached to the core.
Rinse the lettuce halves under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the cut sides of the Romaine lettuce with the seasoned olive oil mixture.
Place the lettuce halves cut side down on the preheated grill.
Grill for 3-4 minutes, until the leaves begin to char and slightly wilt, but the heads still hold together. Flip and grill for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Remove the lettuce halves from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the grilled lettuce.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the lettuce halves.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
