A great appetizer or side dish--just wrap asparagus with prosciutto, baste with olive oil and roast.
- Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
| 1 lb | Medium Thickness Asparagus |
| ½ lb | Prosciutto, sliced medium thin |
| 1 Tbsp | Olive Oil |
Directions:
Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Cut off the bottom 1-1 1/2 inches of the asparagus spears and, if the spears are thick, peel them. Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each spear, spiraling upward, with the fatty stripe of the ham at the bottom so it creates a barber pole effect up the spear. Line a jellyroll pan with foil and smear it lightly with the olive oil. Arrange the wrapped spears in the pan and place in the oven. After 5 minutes, shake the pan vigorously to turn the spears. Roast another five minutes and shake again. Roast until the asparagus is very tender and the prosciutto is somewhat crisp, about 15 minutes total. Serve immediately.
Helpful Tips:
Easy to prepare and can be used as an appetizer too.
