Tender asparagus spears wrapped in salty prosciutto and roasted until crisp, making an elegant appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

• 12 asparagus spears, trimmed
• 6 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wrap each asparagus spear with a half slice of prosciutto, starting at the tip and spiraling down to the end.
3. Place bundles on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper.
4. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until prosciutto is crispy and asparagus is tender.
5. Optional: sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes of roasting.
6. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips

• For thicker asparagus, blanch in boiling water for 1 minute before wrapping.
• Bundles can be assembled a few hours ahead and refrigerated until ready to roast.
• Serve with a squeeze of lemon or balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
