Ingredients Method Notes

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°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the asparagus with olive oil and black pepper, then divide the spears into 12 even bundles.
  3. Wrap each bundle with one of the 12 prosciutto strips.
  4. Arrange the bundles in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crisp.
  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve warm.

Notes

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