- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400F (200C), lightly grease a medium baking dish with olive oil.
- If necessary lightly oil the grill so the zucchini doesn't stick.
- Slice the zucchini lengthwise ¼ inch thick. Grill the slices, be sure not to grill too long or they may dry out. On every strip of zucchini place one slice of Prosciutto, and some grated cheese, roll and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the rollups in the prepared baking dish, sprinkle with bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes
- No salt needed. If you like it quite savory then the Prosciutto is for you if you prefer a more delicate taste then choose the cooked ham. Or go half and half like I did.

- Depending on how many slices of zucchini you have. For one slice of prosciutto you can usually get enough for 2 or 3 strips of zucchini.

- While this grilled zucchini appetizer is best served fresh, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. After that the roll ups will start to go mushy.
- No, after zucchini is cooked it is not recommended to freeze. Zucchini is mostly water when fresh, cooking removes most of the water and if you freeze it the texture will change and it will not be very appetizing.
