Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

September 12, 2012 by Katie Wells
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Recipe- easy and healthy appetizer or side

Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is an easy recipe and makes a great appetizer or side dish. The salty flavors in the prosciutto balance the asparagus and a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of garlic add to the taste.

Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is healthy and also easy to make. My husband likes it because of the prosciutto and my kids eat it because the bunches of asparagus are wrapped into little packages that they can easily pick up (confession: I let my kids eat these with their fingers …)

If you have 15 minutes, I’d suggest trying this easy and delicious recipe.

Note: You can substitute bacon or slices of nitrate free ham for the prosciutto if you can’t find it where you live. I have to go to an Italian grocery to find it most of the time.

Servings 8 -10 bundles
Calories 218 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus (the thinner the spears, the better)
  • 8-10 slices prosciutto (or ham, or bacon)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 3-4 TBSP olive oil (or melted butter, or coconut oil)
  • 1 wedge fresh lemon (optional)
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced, optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Wash the asparagus and pat dry.
  • Divide into little bunches. I usually divide one bunch of asparagus into 8 or 10 smaller ones.
  • Wrap each small bunch of asparagus in a piece of prosciutto, ham, or bacon.
  • Place on a baking sheet or in a large baking dish.
  • Drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon/garlic if using.
  • Place in oven for 10-12 minutes until prosciutto/bacon/ham is starting to get crispy and asparagus is bright green. Check to make sure asparagus is tender (not soft!).
  • Let sit 2 minutes and serve immediately.

Notes

These cute little bundles and make a fun side dish for kids or an elegant appetizer. They can even be assembled ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator until time to cook.

    I use the thin asparagus, lay them on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or garlic salt. I bake them for 15 mins a voila! They are really tasty and even my picky husband eats them!

    My mother and I fry it in butter and let it get soft in the middle. It is very smokey and slightly salty, but very good

    We eat it steamed with a squeeze of lemon, steamed with a dipping sauce of miracle whip and lemon juice, steamed with fresh shreds of parmesan cheese, garlic, and lemon zest. I make a chicken ala king and add that to it…actually my family will eat it anyway that they can get it, lol.

    I make this with a Hollandaise sauce. It’s seriously wonderful, and you need to make at least 2-3 per person.

    My favorite variation is spreading cream cheese on the proscuitto, wrap, and cook. Yum.
