Ingredients

• 6 thick asparagus spears (or bundle together 2-3 thin spears), woody bottom ends snapped or trimmed off
• 1 slice of prosciutto for each asparagus bundle
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

1. Hold an asparagus spear near the bottom and bend it until it naturally snaps, discarding the tough woody end, then trim the remaining spears to match that length.
2. Toss the trimmed asparagus spears in a shallow dish with the olive oil and garlic powder until they are lightly and evenly coated.
3. Group the asparagus into 6 equal bundles (1 thick spear or 2–3 thin spears per bundle).
4. Wrap 1 whole slice of prosciutto tightly around the center of each asparagus bundle, pressing the seam together so it holds securely.
5. Preheat your grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat and brush the grates with a light layer of oil.
6. Place the prosciutto-wrapped bundles on the grill grates over direct medium-high heat with the grill uncovered. Cook undisturbed for 3 minutes until the prosciutto on the bottom is browned and crispy.
7. Use tongs to carefully flip the bundles over and grill for another 3 minutes until the asparagus is tender-crisp and the prosciutto is beautifully crisped all the way around.
8. Transfer the bundles to a serving platter and serve warm.
