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.
