Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Asparagus spears
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 12 pieces Prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears (approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom).
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Lightly toss the asparagus spears in the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Take 2 asparagus spears and wrap them together with one slice of prosciutto, starting at one end and spiraling the prosciutto down to the other end. Repeat until all the asparagus and prosciutto are used.
Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart slightly.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the bundles with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
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 let cool for a minute. Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
