Ingredients
  • 1 pound Asparagus spears
  • 6 slices Prosciutto
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Prepare the Asparagus

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash asparagus and snap off tough ends. Cut each spear in half or thirds, depending on the length.

Wrap and Season

Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap each piece of asparagus with prosciutto. Place wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Add Parmesan and Bake

Drizzle asparagus with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Top with grated Parmesan cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until prosciutto is crispy and asparagus is tender-crisp.

Serve

Remove from oven and serve immediately. These are best served warm.

FAQ

  • Can I prepare these ahead of time?

    You can wrap the asparagus with prosciutto ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Add the Parmesan cheese just before baking for the best results.
  • Can I use pre-shredded Parmesan cheese?

    Yes, but freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt and brown more evenly.
  • What if I don't have parchment paper?

    You can lightly grease the baking sheet with olive oil instead of using parchment paper.
