Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425F. Take one sheet pan lined with parchment paper and lay out each piece of the prosciutto flat, making sure not to overlap them. Set them aside while you prepare the asparagus.
  2. Take the washed and trimmed asparagus, and transfer them to another baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil, garlic salt and pepper. Rub them together, so that all the pieces are coated.
  3. Add both baking sheets to the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Check on the prosciutto and if it has crisped up, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. If they haven’t crisped up yet, continue baking and check on them every 3-5 minutes to make sure they don’t burn. Once they’ve cooled, they will crisp up nicely and you can crumble them like bacon.
  4. After the asparagus has baked for 12 minutes, remove them from the oven, add the mozzarella cheese over the tops, leaving the tips and ends exposed. Increase the oven temperature to 450F and bake them for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter and add the crispy prosciutto over the top and serve.
