Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Tender asparagus spears wrapped in salty prosciutto, roasted until crispy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus spears trimmed
- 8 slices prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss asparagus spears with olive oil and season with black pepper.
- Wrap each asparagus spear bundle (2-3 spears) with a slice of prosciutto.
- Place the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
- Let cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can sprinkle with grated Parmesan before roasting for added flavor.
- These can also be made on the grill instead of in the oven.
- Choose evenly sized asparagus for consistent cooking.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in the oven for best texture.
