Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus, roasted in the oven until crisp, is such an easy way to make your asparagus extra special. Great for Easter, Mother's Day, or any spring meal! Prosciutto is naturally salty, so you shouldn’t need to add any more salt to the asparagus. This is such an easy way to make the roasted asparagus look fancy!

Ingredients

grated parmesan cheese, optional
1 lemon zest, optional
black pepper
1 tbsp. olive oil
3 1/2 oz. sliced prosciutto
1 pound asparagus, preferably thick spears

Method

01

Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
02

Prepare the asparagus: Rinse and pat dry the asparagus. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Set asparagus spears aside. (Reserve the snapped ends for another meal, if you like.)
03

Wrap the asparagus with prosciutto: Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length. Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto. Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension.
04

Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan. Drizzle the asparagus with 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
05

Bake the asparagus for 8 to 10 minutes. When done, the asparagus will be bright green and easily pierced with a fork, and the prosciutto will be crisped around the edges.
06

Serve the asparagus. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter. Top with lemon zest and freshly grated parmesan cheese, if using. Serve immediately while hot.
