Ingredients

For the Asparagus

1 tablespoon Olive oil Adds richness and helps the prosciutto crisp up beautifully.

For the Prosciutto

8 slices Prosciutto Use high-quality, thinly sliced prosciutto for a delightful savory touch.

Optional Seasoning

to taste Black pepper Freshly cracked pepper enhances the flavors without overpowering them.
to taste Parmesan cheese A sprinkle of grated cheese can elevate your prosciutto-wrapped asparagus to gourmet status.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 400?F.
Trim the asparagus spears by snapping off the tough ends.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a slice of prosciutto, starting at one end and spiraling downwards.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender yet still bright green.
