Wrapping asparagus in salty Prosciutto makes it extra special.
It’s easy, quick, and you’ll absolutely love the combination.
This is such an easy way to make the roasted asparagus look fancy!

I also love how the salty flavors of the prosciutto complement the subtly sweet flavor of roasted asparagus.
To prepare the asparagus, snap off the rough, woody ends at the bottom of the spears.
Sometimes, Ill snap off as much as an inch and a half of the asparagus.

I dont like seeing food go to waste, so usually save these piece for a stir-fry.
Dont stress about it too much.
Even a little torn, the prosciutto will still look great after cooking.

Sprinkle the roasted asparagus with lemon zest and freshly grated Parmesan for extra flavor!
Rinse and pat dry the asparagus.
Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus.
Set asparagus spears aside.
Cut prosciutto slices in half down their length.
Wrap each spear of asparagus with one strip of sliced prosciutto.
Tug the prosciutto a little as you wrap it around the asparagus to give it tension.
This helps to ensure that the prosciutto wraps around the asparagus tightly.
Lay the wrapped asparagus spears on the lined sheet pan.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper on top.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer the asparagus to a serving platter.
Top with lemon zest and freshly grated parmesan cheese, if using.
