Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces asparagus spears
- 6 slices low sodium prosciutto slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the asparagus spears, discarding the woody ends.
Cut each low sodium prosciutto slice in half lengthwise, resulting in 12 strips.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a strip of prosciutto, starting at one end and spiraling the prosciutto up the spear. Place each wrapped spear on the prepared baking sheet.
Once all the asparagus spears are wrapped, drizzle them with olive oil.
Sprinkle the black pepper evenly over the spears.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from oven and sprinkle lemon zest over the wrapped asparagus before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
