prosciutto

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is more affordable.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy, while mozzarella is budget-friendly.

1

Clean the asparagus and discard the gnarly ends by bending them 3/4 of the way down until they snap off.

2

Lay out the prosciutto. If it comes out in pieces, lay them beside each other as they will tighten up when cooked.

3

Spread a little chive and onion cream cheese on the prosciutto using the tip of a spoon.

4

Start rolling the asparagus at a slight angle to cover more of it with prosciutto as you roll.

5

Take the wrapped asparagus to the barbecue and grill at medium to high heat for about 10-15 minutes.

6

Brown the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus on the grill, rolling them over several times to ensure even cooking.

7

Check that the asparagus remains slightly crunchy and the prosciutto is nicely browned.

8

Once done, remove from the grill and plate them up.
