Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 lb asparagus, woody ends trimmed
- 12 thin slices prosciutto
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper, fresh thyme leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Grease a large baking sheet. Bring a large stock pot of salted water to boil. Add asparagus to boiling water and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Drain asparagus and rinse with cold water or place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Pat dry with a paper towel.
- Wrap 4-5 asparagus stalks in 1 slice of prosciutto*. Place on prepared baking sheet and turn oven onto broil.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Gently brush each asparagus bundle with oil mixture. Sprinkle evenly with parmesan cheese.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes (really depends on your oven so keep on eye on it!) until parmesan is bubbling and prosciutto starts to crisp up.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with pepper, fresh thyme leaves and any leftover parmesan as desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
I made bundles of 4-5 asparagus because they were quite thin. If your asparagus is on the thick side, do a bundle of around 3, but make sure to slice enough prosciutto!
