Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Swiss chard stems, trimmed and cleaned
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, toss the trimmed edible Swiss chard stems with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Let them sit for 5 minutes while the grill heats.
  2. Place the stems across the grill grates over medium-high heat. Grill for 3–5 minutes per side until distinct dark grill marks appear and the stems are slightly softened.
  3. Remove the stems from the heat and transfer them to a serving platter. While still sizzling, drizzle with lemon juice and honey, then toss gently.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley and shaved Parmesan cheese before serving.
