Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 16 spears fresh asparagus trimmed
  • 16 slices prosciutto

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and coat with olive oil.
  • Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, starting at the bottom, and spiraling up to the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Remove, and shake the pan back and forth to roll the spears over. Return to the oven until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp, another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

Great dish to make ahead, and bake just before serving.
