Roasted Asparagus with Prosciutto
This happens to be my new favorite appetizer and I will be making it often. I liked how quick and easy this recipe was to make. I loved the salty pork with the roasted asparagus – the combination was perfect. We all thought it was a really delicious dish. This roasted asparagus makes an amazing appetizer but I think it would also be great as a side dish, especially for a holiday dinner.
Roasted Asparagus and Prosciutto: Recipe and photos by For the Love of Cooking.net- 1 lb of asparagus, wooden ends removed
- Prosciutto, sliced into thirds, lengthwise
- Olive oil
- Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with tinfoil (for an easier cleanup) then coat with cooking spray. Place the asparagus onto the baking sheet and drizzle with a bit of olive oil then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste then toss to coat evenly.
Place into the oven and roast for 10-15 minutes or until the asparagus is tender. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

I just had roasted asparagus with my dinner tonight! The saltiness of the prosciutto sounds like a nice compliment.

I've made it as a side dish, and it wasn't even a holiday. Good stuff!
P.S. Thanks for your roast a chicken in your Dutch oven with a bed of fingerling potatoes, etc. idea, which I came to by Googling. Good dinner tonight.

This is such a delicious appetizer! Sometimes I make a version where I'll wrap the asparagus with ham and put a little cream cheese inside.

Peanutts,
You could use panchetta or regular bacon if you can't find proscuitto.
