Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch Asparagus, Trimmed (stay Away From The Big Fat Ones, Go For The Med-thin)
- 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Kosher Salt And Pepper To Taste
- 3/4 pounds Prosciutto
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet with half of your olive oil.
- Drizzle the remaining oil over asparagus and lightly toss them with your hands to coat the asparagus.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper (but remember the prosciutto is salty, so go light on the salt).
- Gently wrap each spear with 1/2 piece of the prosciutto.
- Bake for 8-15 minutes (it really depends on the thickness of your asparagus).
- You can serve these hot from the oven or at room temperature.
- Notes: Usually they deli counter cuts the prosciutto thinly and they only put a few slices at a time on top of one another, separating them with plastic.
- That is how I like it.
- The slices I get are large, so I usually just easily tear them in half.
- Just take a look at the size of your asparagus vs the size of your prosciutto and decide what you think will work best.
- Oh, and try not to be like me and eat half of the prosciutto while wrapping.
- Its so stinking good!
- Also, I find it quicker and easier to hold the prosciutto and spin the asparagus to wrap them.
- That is how I taught my 8-year-old to do it as welland she wrapped a few in the photo.
- That makes me happy!
- I have no idea who to credit for this genius idea.
- To me, its just one of those non-recipe dishes that you eat somewhere and replicate.
- Maybe Giada De Laurentis brought it mainstream?
- If so, Giada, you are brilliant!
- Enjoy!
