Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus medium sized stalks
- ½ lb prosciutto I trim the really fatty part off
- ¼ cup parmesan optional - finely grated
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425ºF
- Trim hard stalks off bottom of asparagus
- Wrap each asparagus with prosciutto. When they are all placed in the roasting pan, an optional drizzle of olive oil helps everything roast consistently.
- Optional parmesan cheese may be added
- Bake for approximately 10 minutes. You want the asparagus to be slightly crunchy and bright green. The prosciutto will look crunchy and will tighten around the asparagus.
