Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus harkens back in my mind – I’m picturing a lavish suburban cocktail party where hors d’oeuvres are being passed around on a silver platter, glasses clinking. Just imagine – you’re wearing a bright pink, crushed-velvet, bell-bottomed jumpsuit and your hoop earrings are grazing your shoulders. You are so cool – but not too cool to snag an asparagus spear wrapped in prosciutto. Actually, in the 60’s the asparagus probably would have been wrapped in white bread…
But some things just get better as time passes. Am I right? Salty prosciutto is much better than soggy white bread.
Sure, maybe we’ve grown older, and maybe we’re wearing slippers and old frumpy sweaters most days, but that doesn’t mean the party’s over. Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus will always be a treat, even if it’s being served for a party of two. Cheers!
Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 1 pound prosciutto
Instructions
- Prep the asparagus – Break the fibrous ends off of each of the spears and peel any tough skin. Lay the asparagus out on a plate in a single layer and microwave for two minutes.
- Preheat the oven and wrap the asparagus – Preheat the oven to 400℉, convection roast setting. Tightly wrap each spear in a slice of prosciutto and lay them out on a baking sheet in a single layer.
- Roast – Roast the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus for 10 minutes, turning once or twice to ensure even browning.
- Serve – Serve on a platter with the dipping sauce of your choice.
