Delicious prosciutto-wrapped asparagus makes the perfect appetizer or side dish, and it's ready to serve in just 30 minutes!
ingredient
- 2 pounds asparagus, about 40 spears
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces prosciutto, 8 slices
- 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
Directions
- Pre-heat the Oven – Adjust the oven rack to the center position and set the temperature to 400°F (204°C).
- Prepare the Asparagus – Wash and dry thoroughly. Trim off the tough fibrous ends to give about 7-inch long spears. Evenly coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Wrap the Asparagus – Divide the seasoned asparagus into 8 even-sized bundles. Tightly wrap one slice of prosciutto around the center of each bundle. They should stick together, but you can secure it with a toothpick if needed.
- Brush and Season – Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Place the wrapped bundles on the wire rack. Brush the prosciutto with some of the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lightly season with black pepper.
- Roast – Cook until the prosciutto gets lightly brown and crisp and the asparagus is tender, about 13 to 15 minutes.
- To Serve – Serve warm, topped with parmesan cheese.
