Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 8 ounces prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. You should have about 20-24 spears.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Lightly coat the asparagus spears with the olive oil mixture, ensuring each spear is evenly seasoned.
Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it around the middle of an asparagus spear, leaving the top and bottom exposed. Repeat with the remaining spears and prosciutto.
Arrange the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus are tender and the prosciutto is crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or a side dish.
