Asparagus wrapped with Prosciutto
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 20 minutes
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 36 Asparagus thinner (3 per wrap)
- 6 Prosciutto slices sliced in half lengthwise
Seasoning:
- Drizzle Olive oil
Garnish:
- Za'atar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Wash asparagus very well, and cut about 2 inches from the bottom of the asparagus. You can snap it too, but ultimately it's much easier to cut a bunch together.
-
Drizzle olive oil and coat it well.
-
Slice prosciutto into the half, lengthwise.
-
Wrap one-half slice of prosciutto around 3 thin asparagus spears, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip.
-
Bake for 12 to15 minutes in the preheated oven.
-
Garnish it with Za'atar, it's optional and not necessary, but it gives you very nice aroma and a flavor.
-
Serve Hot with perhaps crackers and some type of a dip.
Recipe Notes
Prosciutto is very salty, especially if you cook it. Adding salt is completely unnecessary. You can bake it for up to 20 minutes. Prosciutto comes out crispy. I used a skillet, but you may use a baking sheet lined with either non-stick aluminum foil or parchment paper. If the asparagus is thicker, you may use one for each prosciutto wrap so you will need less of them. I like using 3 thinner asparagus.
