What will I need to complete this recipe?
You will need the following ingredients:

  • Romaine lettuce hearts: Be sure to use the hearts, not the full heads of romaine. The hearts are more tender and compact, so they will be easier to fit in your air fryer.
  • Olive oil-Any Extra Virgin Olive Oil Will work
  • Salt- I use Morton’s kosher salt
  • Pepper– Use freshly ground if you can.
  • Shaved Parmesan. You can buy tubs of shaved parmesan or shave it yourself using a wedge of parmesan and a sharp vegetable peeler. Whatever you do, DON’T use the stuff in the green shaker jar.
  • Croutons. You can use store-bought croutons or make your own by slicing a baguette and toasting it in your air fryer for 2 minutes @ 400 F.
  • Caesar dressing. I like to use the kind in the refrigerated section. They seem to be fresher tasting, but feel free to use whatever you like.

You will need the following supplies: (affiliate links)

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Pastry brush

How To Store

The grilled romaine is best served straight out of the air fryer. It cools off quickly, so be sure to serve it immediately. Only cook what will be eaten right away as any leftovers will not be enjoyable to eat the next day.

What are romaine hearts?

Romaine’s hearts are heads of romaine lettuce that have had the outer leaves removed. Romaine’s hearts are typically packaged with 2 or 3 hearts in a bag.

How do you make grilled Romaine?

You make grilled romaine by cutting a heart of Romaine lettuce in half and placing it in your preheated air fryer. The warm lettuce with the cold dressing and crispy crouton provides a nice temperature and texture contrast.

What are substitutions that I can make?

If you are a fan of blue cheese, you can use blue cheese dressing and crumbles instead of caesar dressing. Air fryer candied pecans can also be used instead of croutons on the blue cheese version for a nice sweet contrast.

Do I have to use store-bought caesar dressing or can I make my own?

You are welcome to make your own caesar dressing. My favorite homemade caesar dressing that doesn’t have the raw egg is here.

Can I make this ahead of time?

No. This recipe is best served as soon as it is ready. Be sure to have any other dishes you plan on serving ready before you even start cooking the romaine since it cooks so quickly.
