- Fresh ground black pepper
- Garlic Powder

Instructions
- Preheat a grill. If you don’t want to use a grill, you also can use a stovetop grill pan.
- Chop off the top of the lettuce head, and shave off the brown part of the root end. Cut each romaine heart in half lengthwise.*Leaving the root end intact so that the lettuce head stays together.
