Ingredients

2 heads Romaine lettuce hearts
3 tablespoons Olive oil
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Salt
0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cut each romaine lettuce head in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves generously with the olive oil mixture.

Step 5

Place the romaine halves cut side down on the grill. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until grill marks appear and the leaves start to wilt but remain crisp.

Step 6

Gently turn each lettuce half over using tongs, and grill the other side for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the romaine from the grill and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and nutritional yeast.

Step 8

Serve immediately while warm or let it cool slightly for a refreshing salad experience.
