Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Delicious prosciutto-wrapped asparagus makes the perfect appetizer or side dish, and it's ready to serve in just 30 minutes!

📝 Ingredients

• 2 pounds asparagus (about 40 spears)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces prosciutto (8 slices)
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Pre-heat the Oven – Adjust the oven rack to the center position and set the temperature to 400°F (204°C).
2. 2Prepare the Asparagus – Wash and dry thoroughly. Trim off the tough fibrous ends to give about 7-inch long spears. Evenly coat with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
3. 3Wrap the Asparagus – Divide the seasoned asparagus into 8 even-sized bundles. Tightly wrap one slice of prosciutto around the center of each bundle. They should stick together, but you can secure it with a toothpick if needed.
4. 4Brush and Season – Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Place the wrapped bundles on the wire rack. Brush the prosciutto with some of the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Lightly season with black pepper.
5. 5Roast – Cook until the prosciutto gets lightly brown and crisp and the asparagus is tender, about 13 to 15 minutes.
6. 6To Serve – Serve warm, topped with parmesan cheese.
