Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

Ingredients

• 24 spears asparagus – trimmed
• 12 slices prosciutto – slices cut lengthwise
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp black pepper – freshly ground

Instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
2. Rinse and pat dry the asparagus, then trim the woody ends.
3. Halve the prosciutto slices lengthwise. Wrap each asparagus spear in a strip of prosciutto, spiraling from just below the tip to the base and placing seam side down on the baking sheet.
4. Drizzle the wrapped spears with olive oil and roll them gently to coat. Season lightly with the black pepper.
5. Roast until the asparagus is tender when pierced and the prosciutto is crisp and lightly browned, 10–15 minutes depending on spear thickness, rotating the pan and turning the spears once halfway through.
6. Transfer to a platter and serve hot or warm.
