Weeknight Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus –, Elegant Appetizer sits in the Snacks section of Regbie. The card serves 8 servings. Plan on 25 minutes from the first measure to the plate. The amounts and the method are both written on this page.
Ingredients
Yield: 8 servings
- 2½ pounds asparagus, washed and dried
- ½ pound prosciutto di Parma
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, algae oil, or melted ghee
- Magic Mushroom Powder, or kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar
Method
Warm the broiler to high (with the rack 6 inches from the heating element) and grab the asparagus. Set the rubber bands back on the cleaned asparagus, line up the ends and cut off the tough ends (about 2 inches from the bottom).
Divide the asparagus evenly on two rimmed baking sheets, drizzle some avocado oil over the spears, and season conservatively with Magic Mushroom Powder (or salt) and pepper. Don’t go crazy with the Magic Mushroom powder because the prosciutto is plenty salty.
Slice each slice of prosciutto into 3 thin strips and wrap one strip around each asparagus spear.
Pop one tray under the broiler for ~5-8 minutes (tossing the spears at the halfway point) or until the prosciutto crisps up and the asparagus is tender. Repeat the process with the second tray.
Spoon on some aged balsamic vinegar and dig in!
Kitchen notes
- Use super thinly sliced prosciutto.
- Thicker cut prosciutto is too salty and won’t crisp properly.
- When it comes to asparagus, size matters.
