PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS

There is nothing more addictive than tender asparagus spears wrapped in salty, crispy prosciutto. It only takes 4 ingredients and 30 minutes for this simple and delicious appetizer!

Provided by Meggan Hill

Categories     Appetizer

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound asparagus ((look for thicker stems that are about 1-ounce each))
4 ounces prosciutto
2 tablespoons olive oil
freshly ground black pepper
Lemon zest (or lemon wedges, for garnish, optional)
shredded Parmesan cheese (for garnish, optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  • Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.
  • Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.
  • Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).
  • Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO WRAPPED ASPARAGUS



Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus image

I came up with this dish last night while looking for a prosciutto wrapped asparagus recipe. I prefer to roast my asparagus and I don't care for raw prosciutto, so here's my creation! I wouldn't salt the asparagus because the prosciutto is salty enough. Feel free to season the asparagus with whatever you like: thyme, rosemary, etc. This doesn't just have to be a side dish, it could be finger-food too!

  • To add extra flavor to the asparagus, brush it with olive oil, salt, and pepper before wrapping it in prosciutto.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, such as cheese, nuts, or sun-dried tomatoes.
