Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto Recipe

Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto features fresh asparagus stalks seasoned with oil and salt, each wrapped in thinly sliced prosciutto, then baked until the prosciutto crisps. The combination blends the tender snap of asparagus with the savory saltiness and crisp texture of prosciutto, making a simple yet flavorful appetizer or side dish.

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.
