Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 7 minutes
Total Time: 17 minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus, washed and ends trimmed
1/2 pound prosciutto, sliced into strips lengthwise (about an inch wide per strip)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
Preheat broiler to high.
Wrap each asparagus spear with a thin slice of prosciutto, barely overlapping ends until it’s covered down to the cut end (leave the tip exposed). Place wrapped spears on a baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each one (so the sides crisp, not just the top). You may need two baking sheets or to broil in two batches, if necessary.
Place under broiler and cook spears for 6-8 minutes, shaking pan to turn spears halfway through cooking. Remove from oven, allow to rest for about a minute on paper towels, then transfer to a serving tray.
To grill: Place wrapped spears on hot grill and cook until prosciutto is crispy and asparagus is just cooked through to a crisp-tender texture (about the same cooking time as broiling).
