Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Belgian endives
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 whole Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Rinse the Belgian endives thoroughly under cold water, pat them dry with a paper towel, and then slice them in half lengthwise.
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Brush each endive half generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring the oil gets into the layers.
Cut the lemon in half. Squeeze the juice of one-half of the lemon over the endives and reserve the other half for serving.
Place the endive halves on the preheated grill, cut side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes or until they have nice grill marks and are slightly softened. Flip them over and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Remove the grilled endives from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the nutritional yeast evenly over the grilled endives for a cheesy flavor.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately with the reserved lemon half, sliced into wedges, for an additional squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the table.
