Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes

Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb asparagus trimmed
  • 6 slices prosciutto halved lengthwise
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
  2. Toss the asparagus with olive oil and black pepper.
  3. Wrap each spear with a strip of prosciutto in a spiral.
  4. Arrange the wrapped spears on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Notes

Skip the salt since the prosciutto brings plenty on its own.
