Ingredients
- 2 lbs fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 8 slices thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- 2
In a large bowl, toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil and black pepper, ensuring an even coat.
- 3
Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Take one slice of prosciutto and wrap it tightly around the center of each asparagus bundle.
- 4
Place the wrapped asparagus bundles directly on the preheated grill grates. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
- 5
Carefully remove the grilled bundles from the grill and arrange them on a serving platter.
- 6
Drizzle the balsamic glaze generously over the warm asparagus bundles just before serving.
Why this recipe works best on a clean grill
A clean grill makes this recipe easier because the grates release food evenly, the heat moves predictably, and old grease does not smoke over the fresh ingredients. When carbon buildup sits on the grate, it can leave bitter flavors, create flare-ups, and make delicate foods stick right when they should sear.
Before cooking, preheat the grill fully, scrape the grate with a bristle-free tool, and lightly oil the surface. If your grill has yellow flames, heavy smoke, stubborn hot spots, or a greasy smell before the food goes on, it may need a deeper cleaning before your next cookout.
