Ingredients

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

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

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 (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.

A New Twist
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I make these for most of my dinner parties, but with a little twist. I do not blanch the asparagus. I simply lay out my... prosciutto and spread each one with roasted garlic cream cheese (in food processor add roasted garlic, cream cheese and softened butter...makes a great dip as well) wrap around the Prosciutto. Bake for 8 minutes and serve on platter. I like to drizzle Balsamic Vinegar over them before serving. Never one left on the plate.Read more

Simple Yet Impressive
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made this recipe three or four times for my husband's family. It looks impressive on the plate, yet doesn't require a... lot of effort. It transports well for a family gathering since I always serve it at room temperature. I always salt the asparagus because the prosciutto I use is so thin that some bites of asparagus aren't covered and would be bland otherwise. (But, I never think anything is too salty, so that's a matter of personal preference). Read more

Party Hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were great; but after reading other reviews I omitted the salt; and also wrapped the asparagus before I roasted them.... It crisped the prosciutto. Really deliciousRead more

My Spin on this dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For a classic appetiser....Pan sear the asparagus in olive oil to about 50% doneness...Wrap in prosciutto..and place two... bundles per person on baking dish..heat oven to 400....and roast for about 5 minutes...as you roast...make one sunny side up egg per person in a pan with very light butter...when the asparagus are done...place two bundles per person on a plate and cover with a sunny side up egg..pepper to taste...serve with chilled champagneRead more
