Some of you have asked for the Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus recipe…well, ask, and you shall receive!
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
- 12 Asparagus Spears, trimmed
- 6 Slices of Prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise
- Olive oil or Balsamic Vinegar
- Cracked Pepper
Start by trimming the asparagus by holding it on each end and bend gently. Okay, go ahead and break it in the place where it has the most give, nearest the woody end.
Now your ready to take your prosciutto slices and wrap them around your asparagus spears in a diagonal pattern, like a beautiful, salty meat ribbon.
Time to cook! You can go about it in two ways. One, you can drizzle them with a bit of olive oil, toss those asparagus onto a cookie sheet and put them in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes OR you can fire up your grill and cook over direct heat for 5-6 minutes. Either way, you want to cook until asparagus is tender enough to be pierced with a fork and your prosciutto is crisp and golden. Drizzle with olive oil or balsamic vinegar (my personal favorite!) and finish with cracked pepper.
Delish.

Such a yummy combination! I can just taste the crunchy asparagus, salty prosciutto and tangy balsamic all at once. Olive oil is so divine. Darn it, I’m hungry now. This would make a great side dish or appetizer… if I don’t eat it all before the guests get to it. Thanks for sharing.
