Ingredients

1 bunch (~1 pound) Fresh Asparagus Spears
8 slices Prosciutto thinly sliced
1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil plus more for drizzling
Salt and Pepper to taste
Balsamic Glaze/Reduction for finishing, optional
Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese for finishing, optional

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you have a wire rack, place it on top of the parchment lined baking sheet.
Wash and trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears. Then, pat them dry with clean paper towels. Add them to a bowl, plate or another sheet pan along with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Use your hands to toss to ensure that each spear is nicely coated in the oil and seasonings.
Bundle 3-4 asparagus spears together and wrap a slice of prosciutto around the bundle, starting at the bottom and spiraling up. Be gentle as thinly sliced prosciutto is delicate and can tear easily.
Repeat until no asparagus or prosciutto remains.
Place the wrapped asparagus bundles on the wire rack/baking sheet with a bit of room in between each to breathe. Give them an extra spritz or drizzle of olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is crispy. If desired, add freshly grated parmesan cheese and drizzle balsamic glaze over the bundles before serving.
