Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by trimming the tough ends off the asparagus and lightly coating them with avocado or olive oil and salt. Each stalk is then carefully wrapped with a slice of prosciutto, which crisps in the oven during baking. Baking at 425°F for about 10 to 12 minutes allows the asparagus to stay tender while rendering the fat and crisping the prosciutto.
This method results in an elegant dish where the prosciutto adds savory depth and texture contrast to the bright, fresh asparagus. It is straightforward to prepare and well-suited as a starter or accompaniment to meals.
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus
- 1/4 tsp salt adjust to taste
- 1 tsp avocado oil or olive oil
- 1/2 lb prosciutto thinly sliced
Instructions
- Trim the asparagus by cutting or snapping off the tough end of each asparagus stalk. Season them with oil and salt.
- Wrap each piece of asparagus in prosciutto. Assemble the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 425°F for about 10-12 minutes, or until the prosciutto is nice and crispy. Enjoy!
