Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus recipe

It just takes two ingredients, prosciutto and asparagus, for a flavor-packed side dish.

1 tablespoon olive oil
12 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
12 slices prosciutto

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.
Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 5 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until asparagus is tender, and prosciutto is crisp. Serve immediately.

Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus Review by Jack on April 11th, 2011:

I made this with Spanish Serrano ham which is very similar to Italian prosciutto. It was delicious!
