1
Prepare the Grill
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a wood grill, ensure that the wood is properly lit and has reached a good even heat.
2
Prepare the Romaine
Wash the romaine lettuce heads thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each head in half lengthwise, keeping the core intact to hold the leaves together.
3
Season the Lettuce
Brush the cut sides of the romaine halves with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the cut surfaces.

4
Grill the Romaine
Place the romaine halves cut-side down on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes, or until you see nice grill marks and the lettuce starts to wilt slightly.
5
Flip and Finish Grilling
Carefully flip the romaine halves and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes until they are tender but still slightly crisp.

6
Prepare for Serving
Remove the grilled romaine from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with lemon juice and balsamic vinegar.
7
Add Toppings
Sprinkle the grilled romaine generously with grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for added flavor.
8
Serve Immediately
Serve the wood-grilled romaine warm as a side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
