Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Wrap 2-3 medium-sized asparagus spears in 1 piece of prosciutto. If you have larger asparagus, wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around 1 asparagus. You should end up with roughly 12 bundles.
1 pound asparagus, ½ pound prosciutto
Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil and then spray the rack with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the asparagus bundles to the rack in a single layer, trying not to let any of the sides touch.
Whisk together the oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and then brush over the bundles.
1 ½ tablespoon oil, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ⅛ - ¼ teaspoon salt
Bake at 425 for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the asparagus. You’ll know they’re done cooking when the asparagus turns bright green and is fork tender.
Serve immediately with additional salt and black pepper, to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

Air Fryer: Preheat to 380 degrees for at least 3 minutes. Cook prosciutto wrapped asparagus for 6-7 minutes or until asparagus is bright green and tender.
Grill: This recipe is also delicious directly grilled over medium-low heat, giving an extra layer of rich, smoky flavor.
Garnish: A sprinkle of fine parmesan cheese, a fresh squeeze of lemon, or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar can take this recipe to the next level by contrasting the fatty, salty prosciutto.
