Ingredients
- 1 bunch Asparagus
- 10 pieces Vegetarian prosciutto slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash the asparagus under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Trim the tough ends of the asparagus, about 1 to 2 inches from the bottom.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, lemon zest, and garlic powder.
Step 5
Place the asparagus in a large mixing bowl and drizzle with the seasoned olive oil. Toss to coat the asparagus evenly.

Lay out one vegetarian prosciutto slice on a clean surface. Place two to three asparagus spears on top of the prosciutto slice at one end and wrap the prosciutto tightly around the asparagus.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining asparagus and prosciutto slices.
Step 8
Arrange the wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is slightly crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
