- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

- Place the asparagus in a single layer on the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil; toss to coat evenly.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto in half cross wise. Wrap the pieces of prosciutto around each stalk of asparagus.
- Season the asparagus to taste with black pepper.
- Broil for 3-4 minutes on each side until asparagus is cooked though and prosciutto is crispy on the edges. Serve immediately.

Notes
- It's best to use medium sized asparagus stalks for this recipe. The really thin ones won't hold up to broiling and if you use thick asparagus it may not cook all the way through before the prosciutto is done.
- While I find that it's easiest to make this dish in the oven, you can grill or pan sauté your asparagus if you prefer.
- There's no need to add any salt to the asparagus, as the cured meat provides plenty of salty flavor.
