Trim the tough ends off the asparagus by bending each spear until it snaps, using the snapped piece as a guide for trimming.

Spread the trimmed asparagus out on a sheet pan.

Drizzle olive oil over the asparagus and season with salt and black pepper.

Lay two pieces of prosciutto on top of the asparagus on the sheet pan.

Place the sheet pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes to crisp up the prosciutto and gently roast the asparagus.

Once the asparagus is 90% cooked, add slivered almonds to the pan and return it to the oven for a couple more minutes.

Remove the asparagus from the oven when caramelized and the prosciutto is crispy.

Transfer the asparagus to a large platter for presentation.

Roughly chop the crispy prosciutto and sprinkle it over the asparagus.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the top of the dish.

Scatter chunks of feta cheese on top of the asparagus.
