Elevate your next meal with these irresistible Roasted Asparagus Bundles, a perfect combination of elegance and ease. Tender asparagus spears are bundled together and wrapped in savory prosciutto, then roasted to perfection until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto becomes delectably crisp. A drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder, salt, and pepper add simple yet bold flavors, while a hint of fresh lemon juice brightens the dish. For an optional cheesy finish, a dusting of Parmesan takes these bundles to the next level. Ready in just 25 minutes, this versatile recipe makes an impressive appetizer, side dish, or centerpiece for any dinner spread. Perfect for holidays, dinner parties, or even a weeknight treat, these roasted asparagus bundles are as visually stunning as they are delicious.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and trim the woody ends off the asparagus spears. Group the asparagus into bundles of 5-6 spears each.
Lay a slice of prosciutto on a flat surface. Place one asparagus bundle at one end of the prosciutto and roll tightly to wrap the vegetables.
Repeat with the remaining bundles and arrange them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the bundles. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crisp.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the bundles for added brightness. If desired, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
Serve the roasted asparagus bundles warm as a delightful side dish or appetizer.
