Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound asparagus
- 12 slices vegan prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash the asparagus thoroughly and trim off the woody ends, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
In a bowl, toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Take one spear of asparagus and wrap it with a slice of vegan prosciutto, starting from the bottom and spiraling up towards the tip. The prosciutto should overlap slightly as you wrap. Repeat with remaining asparagus and prosciutto.
Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the vegan prosciutto has become slightly crisp.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving. Enjoy warm as a delicious appetizer or side dish.
