Grilled lettuce? Yep—and it’s amazing. This grilled romaine recipe turns everyday greens into something smoky, savory, and full of flavor. A quick sear brings out a new depth in romaine, while lemon juice, olive oil, and Parmesan tie it all together.
1. Preheat the Pan
Preheat a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
2. Prep the Romaine
Brush each cut side of the romaine halves with olive oil, and sprinkle with a good pinch of kosher salt.
3. Sear It
Place the romaine, cut side down, into the hot skillet. Sear for 3 minutes, until charred and golden. Then, flip and sear the back side for 2 more minutes.
4. Finish & Serve
Remove from heat. Add a little more salt, a few cracks of black pepper, a drizzle of olive oil, and a big squeeze of lemon juice over the top. Finish with lots of Parmesan—shaved or grated, your call.
Serve warm as a side or light main.
