Grilled Zucchini Roll-Ups Skewers

Grilled Zucchini Roll-Ups Skewers are a delicious appetizer that can be prepared with various ingredients. Typically, they consist of slices of meat or fish rolled up with vegetables or cheese inside. Here is a variant with zucchini and raw ham.

Ingredients

• 2 zucchinis
• 100 g of thinly sliced raw ham
• 100 g of spreadable cheese (such as Philadelphia)
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Skewers for grilling

Preparation

1. Wash the zucchinis and slice them lengthwise into thin strips using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
2. Heat a grill or non-stick pan and grill the zucchini slices on both sides until they are soft and have the typical grill marks.
3. Once cooled, spread a generous amount of spreadable cheese on each slice of zucchini.
4. Place a slice of raw ham on one end of each zucchini slice, then roll up the slices starting from the ham side to form the roll-ups.
5. Skewer the roll-ups, alternating them on the skewers, and make sure the raw ham is well secured.
6. Before serving, you can brush each skewer with a little oil and add a pinch of salt and pepper.

You can quickly pass the skewers over a hot grill or griddle for a more appealing effect and to make the ham crispy. Alternatively, they can be served as they are for a fresher and lighter result.

Curiosity

This dish can be varied in many ways by changing the type of vegetables, cheese, or meat. For example, grilled eggplant is an excellent alternative to zucchini, and cooked ham or speck can replace raw ham for a different taste.
