Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Asparagus spears
- 12 pieces Prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping them off naturally or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom.
Pat the asparagus dry with a paper towel to ensure they roast well.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to make 24 strips.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.
Brush the asparagus spears with the olive oil mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.
Take one asparagus spear and wrap a strip of prosciutto around it, starting from the bottom and spiraling upwards towards the tip. Repeat this process with all the asparagus spears.
Place the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with a little space between each spear.
Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender but still bright green.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle with lemon zest for an added touch of flavor.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
