Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus trimmed (450g)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground pepper
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 package prosciutto di parma (cut into half lengthwise) (6 oz/ 170g)
Instructions
- Wash the asparagus and trim or snap off the woody ends. Using a vegetable peeler, remove the outer layer of the stem, from about halfway up the spear to the base.
- Place asparagus onto a shallow baking tray. Lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil. Toss until spears are evenly coated. Transfer to a plate.
- Starting just under the scaled tip of each asparagus spear, wrap a slice of prosciutto in a spiral towards the cut end. Place onto the baking tray in a single layer. Repeat with remaining asparagus. You may have to place on 2 baking trays or cook in 2 separate batches.
- Preheat broiler with a rack placed 6 inches from heating element.
- Place baking tray with asparagus in the oven and broil for about 3 minutes.
- Remove baking tray from oven and flip the asparagus. Return to oven and broil until prosciutto is crisp, about 3 minutes more.
- Serve immediately.
