Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus

✓ USDA-verified nutrition data

Ingredients

• 12 spears Asparagus
• 6 slices Prosciutto
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1/2 Lemon

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Snap off the woody ends of each asparagus spear. Bend one gently and it breaks naturally at exactly the right spot.
3. Pat the spears completely dry with paper towels. Moisture keeps the prosciutto from crisping.
4. Cut each prosciutto slice in half lengthwise. Wrap one half-slice in a spiral around two asparagus spears.
5. Arrange the bundles seam-side down on the sheet with space between them.
6. Roast 10 to 12 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp at the edges and the asparagus is tender-crisp. It should still have bite, not flop over.
7. Grate fresh lemon zest over the hot bundles and serve immediately.
