Follow The Directions

01

Step

5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

10 mins

Prepare the asparagus: Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. Bundle 3-4 spears together and wrap with a slice of prosciutto. Secure with a toothpick. Arrange the bundles in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (10 minutes)

03

Step

20 mins

Bake: Drizzle the asparagus bundles with lemon juice and olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven until the asparagus is crisp-tender, approximately 18-20 minutes.

04

Step

3 mins

Broil (Optional): For extra-crisp prosciutto, turn on the broiler and broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.

05

Step

0 mins

Finish: Drizzle with additional lemon juice and a touch more olive oil before serving.

Choose thick asparagus spears for the best texture.
For a vegetarian option, omit the prosciutto and sprinkle the asparagus with Parmesan cheese before baking.
A squeeze of balsamic glaze after cooking adds a touch of sweetness and complexity.
Serve immediately as a side dish or appetizer.
