Ingredients
- 16 pieces asparagus spears
- 8 slices prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim the tough ends by snapping them off where they naturally break.
Step 3
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to make 16 thin strips.
Step 4
Wrap each asparagus spear tightly with one strip of prosciutto, starting from just below the tip and spiraling downward.
Step 5
Place the wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between the spears.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Drizzle this mixture evenly over the asparagus.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the asparagus for extra flavor.
Step 8
Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
