Description
A crispy-salty layer of prosciutto wrapped around an asparagus spear makes a wonderful vegetable side. Drizzle with a balsamic glaze to take this dish over the top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound medium asparagus spears
- 3 ounces prosciutto slices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1–1/2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break the ends off of each asparagus spear.
- Gently cut the prosciutto slices into halves or thirds the long way, depending on the size of the meat slices.
- Beginning near the tip, snuggly wrap each spear with the prosciutto winding the meat down the spear and ending near the bottom. Lay each wrapped spear on the lined baking sheet leaving a 1/2” space between them.
- When all the asparagus is wrapped, drizzle the olive oil over the spears and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Bake in preheated 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes until the prosciutto is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
- Remove pan from the oven and drizzle the spears with the balsamic glaze.
- Serve warm.
Notes
One pound of fresh asparagus equals 25-35 small spears, 15-25 medium spears or 12-18 large spears.
