Ingredients
- 16 asparagus spears, trimmed
- 8 slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Optional: lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with a half slice of prosciutto, starting at the tip and spiraling downward. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- Brush or drizzle the wrapped asparagus with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Roast for 8-10 minutes, until prosciutto is crisp and asparagus is tender but still bright green.
- Serve immediately, with lemon wedges if desired.
Tips
- Use thick asparagus spears for best results; thin spears may overcook.
- Prosciutto can be replaced with Serrano ham or bacon.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
