Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces asparagus spears
- 8 slices prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends by snapping them off where they naturally break.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to make 16 thin strips.
Wrap each asparagus spear tightly with one strip of prosciutto, starting from just below the tip and spiraling downward.
Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between the spears.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the asparagus.
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the asparagus for extra flavor.
Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
