Equipment

Ingredients

1 romaine lettuce head
½ tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon mixed herbs optional
pinch black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 390F / 200C for 3 minutes.
Combine the olive oil, herbs, garlic powder and black pepper in a small bowl. Use a silicone brush (or your hands) to lightly coat the romaine lettuce. You may have some of the oil dressing left over.
Place the romaine lettuce in the air fryer and air fry for 3 minutes at 390F / 200C. For extra char, continue to air fry for a further 1-2 minutes, but be careful not to overcook.
Use tongs to remove the romaine lettuce from the air fryer basket, as it will be quite hot.

Notes

Cut the romaine lettuce head lengthways, through the stem. You can trim the stem slightly, but be careful not to cause the leaves to fall away from it.
Brush the lettuce fairly lightly with the oil herb dressing.
I suggest checking the air fryer after three minutes, as you don't want to overcook the lettuce.
