Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

Crispy prosciutto wrapped around tender asparagus — an elegant appetizer in 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 bunch thick asparagus, trimmed
• 8 slices prosciutto
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Black pepper
• Parmesan shavings, lemon zest

Method

1. Wrap each asparagus spear (or bundle of 2-3 thin spears) with a slice of prosciutto, spiraling from bottom to top.

2. Place on a sheet pan. Drizzle with oil, season with pepper (no salt — prosciutto is salty).

3. Roast 400°F for 12-15 min until prosciutto is crispy and asparagus is tender.

4. Top with Parmesan shavings and lemon zest.

What You're Practicing

• The prosciutto crisps in the oven while the asparagus steams inside — two textures in one bite.
• No salt needed — the prosciutto provides all the seasoning.
