Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the asparagus and trim the woody ends, about 1 inch from the bottom.
Slice each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise, creating 12 strips.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a strip of prosciutto, starting from the bottom and spiraling up to the top.
Place the wrapped asparagus spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle olive oil evenly over the asparagus and season lightly with kosher salt and black pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crispy.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Sprinkle the wrapped asparagus with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest for added flavor before serving.
