Ingredients

• 16 pieces Asparagus spears
• 8 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Wash the asparagus spears and trim the woody ends by snapping or cutting them off (usually about 1 to 2 inches from the base). Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Take the phyllo dough out of the package and cover it with a damp kitchen towel to prevent it from drying out while you work.

Step 4

Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean surface and brush it lightly with melted butter using a pastry brush. Fold it in half lengthwise to create a long strip.

Step 5

Sprinkle a small pinch of Parmesan cheese (about 1/2 teaspoon) evenly over the phyllo strip.

Step 6

Place one asparagus spear at one end of the phyllo strip. Roll the asparagus diagonally in the phyllo dough, wrapping it tightly, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Repeat this process with the remaining asparagus and phyllo sheets, re-covering the phyllo dough with the damp towel in between rolls.

Step 8

Once all the spears are wrapped, brush the tops and sides lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle the wrapped spears evenly with a touch of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if desired.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
