Proscuitto Wrapped Asparagus

Print Recipe
Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • ~20 asparagus 3/4 lb, ends trimmed
  • 5 ounce package prosciutto each slice cut in half
  • olive oil
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place asparagus on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil, roll around to coat. Sprinkle with black pepper.
  2. Wrap half slice of prosciutto around each asparagus. Place seam side down on cookie sheet with space in between each asparagus. Roast for 15 minutes or until tender; using tongs flip asparagus half way through cooking time. Remove to a serving tray, zest lemon over asparagus and serve warm.

Notes

If you are using very thick asparagus, use a vegetable peeler to remove a little off the sides of the bottom of the stalk to ensure a tender result.
Look for the lowest sodium prosciutto available as it is a very salty product.
