Ingredients

  • ½ bunch asparagus approximately ½ lb
  • 200 g prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup parmigiano reggiano
  • 1 lemon
  • Pinch salt & pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Wash and dry the asparagus. Trim the bottoms about 1 inch to remove the woody stem.
  • Wrap the asparagus with 1 prosciutto slice each. If your prosciutto is quite wide, cut each slice in half lengthwise for double the pieces. Lay on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Top the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, freshly grated parmesan, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Bake at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, depending on asparagus thickness.
  • Garnish with more parmesan and another squeeze of lemon. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you have lots of skinny asparagus, you can wrap the prosciutto around 2 or 3 stalks for prosciutto wrapped asparagus bundles. 
  • Air fryer: If the asparagus fits in your air fryer, you can air fry the prosciutto wrapped asparagus at 370ºF for 6-9 minutes.
  • Storage: Store any leftover wrapped asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 2 days. Re-heat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven until warm.
