Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a wood grill, ensure the wood is ready for grilling.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Romaine

    Cut the romaine heads in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.

    Place the romaine halves cut side down on the hot grill. Grill for about 3-5 minutes, or until grill marks appear and the lettuce is slightly wilted.

    Remove the romaine from the grill and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still hot.
