How to Make | Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Recipe

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.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Rinse and trim 1 pound of asparagus, looking for medium thickness stalks (20 to 22 stalks per pound).

Trim the asparagus by either snapping off the tough ends or cutting them all at once about 1.5 to 2 inches from the bottom.

Drizzle the trimmed asparagus with 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of fresh grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of kosher salt. Toss gently to combine.

Cut the prosciutto into strips to avoid using too much on each piece of asparagus.

Wrap each asparagus spear with a strip of prosciutto, starting from the bottom and twisting it up diagonally, anchoring it at the top.

Place a wired rack on a rimmed baking sheet (or place directly on the baking sheet if no rack is available).

Arrange the wrapped asparagus on the rack and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the asparagus is cooked through and the prosciutto is crispy.

Once done, let them cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter.
