Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, and rosemary. Add salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to the mixture, and stir to combine.
Place the plant-based chicken liver substitute onto a plate and brush both sides generously with the garlic and herb mixture.
Once preheated, lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan to prevent sticking.
Place the brushed plant-based livers onto the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are nicely browned and heated through.
While grilling, occasionally baste with any leftover garlic and herb mixture to enhance the flavor.
Once done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Before serving, sprinkle the grilled livers with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and color.
Serve warm with a side salad or your favorite grain dish.
