About Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus

Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus is a delectable dish that combines the savory richness of thinly sliced Italian prosciutto with the earthy freshness of tender asparagus spears. Originating from Italian cuisine, this appetizer is simple yet elegant, often served at parties or alongside a main meal. The dish boasts a nutrient-rich profile thanks to asparagus, which is high in fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants that support overall health. Prosciutto, while flavorful and a good source of protein, is high in sodium and fat—so moderation is key. When baked or grilled, the prosciutto crisps up, creating a delightful contrast in texture to the juicy asparagus. This dish is naturally low-carb and gluten-free, making it suitable for many dietary preferences. For a healthier twist, consider pairing it with reduced-sodium prosciutto or substituting with a leaner cured meat option.
