Ingredients
- 2 hearts Romaine lettuce
- 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 Lemon

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Rinse the romaine lettuce hearts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 3
Slice each romaine heart in half lengthwise, keeping the root end intact to hold the leaves together.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the extra virgin olive oil with the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 5
Brush the olive oil mixture evenly over the cut sides of the romaine hearts.
Step 6
Cut the lemon in half. Juice one half of the lemon and slice the other half into wedges for serving.
Step 7
Place the romaine hearts cut side down on the hot grill.
Step 8
Grill for about 2-3 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the lettuce is slightly wilted.
Step 9
Flip the hearts and grill for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the romaine from the grill, squeeze lemon juice over each heart, and, if desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Step 11
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
