Prosciutto Wrapped Grilled Vegetables

Succulent grilled vegetables wrapped in delicate slices of salty prosciutto create an exquisite appetizer or side dish. The savory notes of the prosciutto complement the natural sweetness of the vegetables, making every bite a burst of flavor. This dish is perfect for summer barbecues or as a sophisticated starter at dinner parties. Originating from Italy, where fresh produce is celebrated, this dish showcases the simplicity and richness of Mediterranean cuisine.

Serves 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Balsamic glaze
2 tablespoons
Prosciutto
8 slices
Asparagus
1 bunch, trimmed
Red bell pepper
1, sliced into strips
Yellow squash
1, sliced into rounds
Zucchini
1, sliced into rounds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced asparagus, red bell pepper, yellow squash, and zucchini. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat the vegetables evenly.
  3. Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around each vegetable slice, ensuring they are well-covered.
  4. Place the wrapped vegetables on the grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the vegetables are tender. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  5. Once cooked, remove the vegetables from the grill and place them on a serving platter.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the grilled vegetables for a touch of sweetness and tang.
  7. Serve hot as an appetizer or side dish, and enjoy the medley of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For a variation, try adding other vegetables like eggplant or cherry tomatoes.
  • 💡 You can marinate the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs for extra flavor before wrapping them in prosciutto.
  • 💡 If you prefer a smoky flavor, consider using a charcoal grill instead.
