Grilled Veggie Bundles

Submitted by Nimz_

"We have so many garden vegetables right now and this is a nice way to use up some of them. This would make a nice appetizer or a side dish for a cook out. The sauce makes these little bundles. You may also have some left over zucchini and squash depending on how small they are."

I love the flavor combination! The ham and soy sauce add just enough salt and all veggies taste so good. I did have some trouble keeping them all together, and think I will try them under the broiler to see how that works. Thanks for sharing the cool, tasty recipe!

Made these as appetizers & they were a big hit there, & now I want to try them exactly as given, for a sit-down dinner as I think they'd make a knock-out presentation over rice or a pilaf! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

These are awesome! I will need to practice to make them look as nice as the ones in the picture, but the flavor was wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

LOVE!! These are great little treats! I added minced garlic to the sauce instead of the powder along with some fresh cracked pepper. Since I was making them on the George Foreman, I made individual bundles with toothpicks instead of the skewers. They were indeed outstanding and I can't wait to try them on the charcoal grill this summer. Thanks Nimz!!!

Yum! The sauce makes these SO outstanding. Just a great flavor and a perfect way to zing up those summer veggies. I served these as an appetizer at a cookout and they were gone before the shrimp. That is a BIG thing around this house. Thank you for the great recipe!
