- 8-10 slices prosciutto
- 8-10 asparagus spears trimmed
- 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese divided
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional toppings: fresh lemon juice, balsamic glaze
Lay the prosciutto slices in an even layer on a cutting board. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese.
Roll each spear with one slice of prosciutto, starting with the bottom and ending a the top.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, lay the spears flat on the pan and season with pepper. Rotate every 1-2 minutes until all sides are evenly caramelized and crispy. This should take about about 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining grated parmesan or desired toppings.
Storage:
Store any leftover prosciutto-wrapped asparagus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through.
I don’t recommend freezing the asparagus, as it will make the vegetable mushy once it thaws. But if you want to pre-wrap the stalks the day before the party, that works! Store them loosely covered in the fridge.
You can also sear the asparagus before a party and keep them warm in a 200ºF oven until it’s time to enjoy.
