Description
A classic spring appetizer – young asparagus spears wrapped in prosciutto and broiled until crisp on the outside, tender on the inside
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch asparagus (about 20 spears), woody ends trimmed
- 10 thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat broiler. Wrap a prosciutto slice around each asparagus spear. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Broil, flipping once halfway through cooking, until asparagus is fork-tender and prosciutto is beginning to crisp, about 10 minutes total. Arrange on a serving plate and serve immediately.
