Quick & Easy Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Just when you thought asparagus couldn’t get any better, I wrapped it in prosciutto, and let me tell you, it’s a game-changer. The salty crispness of the prosciutto pairs perfectly with the tender, earthy asparagus, creating a harmony of flavors in each bite. It’s simple enough for a weekday side dish yet elegant enough for your fanciest dinner parties, and trust me, it’ll have everyone asking for seconds! Start by getting your oven heated up to 400°F (200°C). Next, grab your prosciutto slices and slice them in half lengthwise. Then take each asparagus spear and wrap it with a slice of prosciutto, starting from the bottom and spiralling up to just below the tip. The wrapping should be snug, but don’t pull too tight. Once they’re all wrapped up, lay the spears on a baking sheet. Give them a light drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of black pepper. Remember, we’re skipping the salt since the prosciutto adds plenty of its own. Now, into the oven they go! Bake for about 15 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the asparagus is tender yet still has a bit of a crunch, and the prosciutto is wonderfully crisp. Just before serving, sprinkle over some grated Parmesan cheese. It adds a beautiful cheesy, nutty layer to the asparagus.
