Ingredients
- 12 asparagus spears
- 6 lices prosciutto
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 - 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
Prepare
- Hold one asparagus spear with one hand on each end. Bend up and away from you, towards the flat end of the spear. When it snaps, use that spear as a guideline and chop the rest of the spears to match it in length.
- Slice the prosciutto slices in half lengthwise.
Cup of Yum
Assemble
- Wrap one half of a prosciutto slice around one asparagus spear, in a spiral fashion. Set aside, and repeat with remaining prosciutto slices and asparagus spears.
- Brush each wrapped spear with olive oil, and season with black pepper.
Air Fry
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with cooking spray (we like to use an olive oil or avocado oil spray).
- Add wrapped asparagus spears in a single layer, leaving a little bit of room for the hot air to circulate between each spear. If needed, you can cook these in batches.
- Air fry for 8 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, with crispy tops, and the prosciutto is golden.
Garnish and serve
- Sprinkle cooked asparagus spears with grated Parmesan cheese if desired, then serve hot.
