INGREDIENTS HIGHLIGHTS
Fresh Asparagus: The crisp, vibrant star of the show. Snapping those woody ends leaves you with tender, earthy spears that bring a gorgeous pop of color and a fresh, clean bite to the plate.
Prosciutto: The ultimate luxury wrap. It brings a delicate, melt-in-your-mouth texture along with a rich, beautifully salty, and savory punch that elevates the simple veggies instantly.
Olive Oil: A light but essential touch that coats the asparagus perfectly, helping it roast to tender-crisp perfection while adding a subtle, smooth richness.
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese: The perfect gourmet finale. A final dust of sharp, nutty Parmesan melts slightly over the warm bundles for an elegant, umami-rich finish.
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Snap or trim the woody ends off the asparagus, then arrange the spears on a foil-lined sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and a pinch of salt, tossing to coat evenly, and spread them out so they roast rather than steam.
- Roast until tender-crisp, adjusting the time based on thickness: 7 to 8 minutes for thin spears, 9 to 10 minutes for medium, or 11 to 12 minutes for thick. Remove from the oven, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to blot any excess oil, and let them cool completely.
- Bundle three thin spears together (or use single spears if they are thick) and place them at a slight angle across one end of a prosciutto slice. Roll tightly, leaving the elegant tips peeking out the top. Arrange on a platter and finish with a fresh sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
