I typically buy Artisan Romaine Hearts at Costco. Smaller but wonderful. Tonight I halved them, drizzled them with olive oil and sprinkled with Spike seasoning. After grilling we added Pecorino Romano and they were wonderful! This recipe never disappoints.

This is a wonderful way to eat your greens without all the heavy salad dressings like Caesar and ranch. The flavor heavily depends on the steak seasoning you use. I had a homemade seasoning, which we love. Next time I will try melting some parmesan cheese on top like others have recommended. This dish was a pleasant surprise.

Turned out awesome , my wife couldn’t believe I was grilling lettuce, and she normally doesn’t like romaine lettuce either, she can’t wait for me to do it again, next time(tomorrow) I’ll take a picture , added crisp turkey bacon, sliced raw onions and tomato wedges , Parmesan cheese, yummy

Grilled for 5 minutes on the cut side and 3 on the other. Make sure the olive oil and montreal steak seasoning is brushed throughout the leaves. Cut the romaine ends off before serving. Delicious!

So so SO good! It was just surprising, totally anticipating this to turn into a wilty mess. The steak seasoning is key, tried it with just salt and pepper and so much better with the meaty seasoning. Thanks so much for submitting!

I was dubious, but my husband and I both loved it. It was raining so I broiled it, which worked fine since I watched it carefully. I then chopped it and tossed with fresh lemon juice. It made a pretty, warm salad. Can’t wait to try it on the grill.

Loved it – used less steak seasoning and from another reviewer, topped with a little Parmesan cheese and crushed croutons. Teamed with grilled filet steaks. I expected a negative comment from my husband on the grilled romaine as he is a bland eater but he said it was one of the best meals he’s had in a long time.

We have some food sensitivity in our family so we did have to substitute a few things. Here is what we used for substitutes: Oil – Sunflower Seed Oil Spices – Garlic and Sea Salt, Korean Cyan Pepper Cheese – Vegan Cheese slices We cooked it in the oven as opposed to grilling. Cooked under the broiler 5 minutes per side (more or less)

If you are grilling anyway, put this on after you take off the other stuff to rest. Don’t let it sit long before serving. And, a little Hellman’s mayo doesn’t hurt anything.
Jamie Gonzalez
Fantastic – we will have this as a side dish again!!
Shelly Hernandez
I like anything that’s quick to make and tasty.
Jeremy Perez
Love grilled romaine. Yes the olive oil and cooking. Then sprinkled with bacon bits, blue cheese crumbles and a touch of balsamic !!!
Michele Carpenter
I made this but used garlic salt. It was great
Thomas Brady
Easy, different side dish we enjoyed! Croutons and parmesan make everything tasty. My husband now calls all Romaine, “fry lettuce.”
Elizabeth Chang
Very tasty and great for a summer meal! Followed recipe.
Philip Holt
The recipe as-is reminded me of corn husks. Next time, I will try seasoning or park as others suggested
Heather Middleton
Absolutely great!!!
Andrew Villarreal
Very nice and unusual – added parmesan as a finishing touch

I was skeptical of grilling lettuce but I’m glad that I tried it. Family members liked it as well (kids wouldn’t try it and I wasn’t surprised by that). As mentioned in another review, grated fresh parm. cheese was a great addition but I’m sure that it would of been just as yummy without.
Claudia Wood
Turned out as expected. Great reference recipe that allows you to be creative (or not!)
John Gardner
This is a nice twist to traditional romaine salads. Season to your taste and serve. The finished product does vary based on the quality of romaine you start with. Also, in a pinch, you can do it under the broiler on high, top shelf.
