Notes
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.
