Ingredients

• 24 pieces Asparagus spears
• 12 pieces Prosciutto slices
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse the asparagus spears under cold water and trim the woody ends by snapping them off naturally or cutting about 1-2 inches from the bottom.

Step 3

Pat the asparagus dry with a paper towel to ensure they roast well.

Step 4

Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to make 24 strips.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 6

Brush the asparagus spears with the olive oil mixture, making sure they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Take one asparagus spear and wrap a strip of prosciutto around it, starting from the bottom and spiraling upwards towards the tip. Repeat this process with all the asparagus spears.

Step 8

Place the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with a little space between each spear.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender but still bright green.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving plate. Optionally, sprinkle with lemon zest for an added touch of flavor.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
