Servings: 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!
