Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 10 pieces Vegetarian prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash the asparagus under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and garlic powder.
Place the asparagus in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the seasoned olive oil. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.
Lay out one vegetarian prosciutto slice on a clean surface. Place two to three asparagus spears on top of the prosciutto slice at one end and wrap the prosciutto tightly around the asparagus.
Repeat the process with the remaining asparagus and prosciutto slices.
Arrange the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
