prosciutto

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: ham

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while ham is more affordable.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated mozzarella

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor without dairy, while mozzarella is budget-friendly.

1

Take a bunch of asparagus, thicker the better.

2

Do not snap the bottoms off; leave them intact for a handle.

3

Take thin slices of prosciutto, using half a slice per asparagus spear.

4

Start with the flat end of the asparagus and roll the prosciutto towards the rounded end.

5

Wrap all the asparagus and place them seam side down on a silicone-lined mat.

6

Do not add salt or oil before cooking.

7

Place in a 450°F oven for about 5-6 minutes until the prosciutto starts to sizzle and bubble.

8

Check tenderness with a paring knife; they should be starting to get tender.

9

Use a pastry brush to wipe the fat from the pan over the asparagus.

10

Return to the oven until the asparagus is just tender but still firm.
