Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Black pepper
- as per taste
- Salt
- as per taste
- Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Prosciutto slices
- 12 thin slices
- Asparagus
- 12 spears, tough ends trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Trim the tough ends off the asparagus spears. This can be done by bending the spear until it snaps naturally, ensuring the woody part is removed.
- In a bowl, drizzle the asparagus with olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper, then toss to coat the asparagus evenly.
- Take a slice of prosciutto and wrap it carefully around an asparagus spear, starting from the bottom and spiraling up to the tip. Repeat this wrapping process with each asparagus spear.
- Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crispy. Keep an eye on the prosciutto towards the end of the cooking time to prevent it from burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. The asparagus should remain warm for serving, but not too hot to handle. Enjoy this delicious and healthy dish!
