Roasted Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto

By AprilJones

Ingredients

• 1 lb asparagus (about 19 stalks), trimmed
• 1 TBSP olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 to 8 paper thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.

Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (1/2 slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.
