Preparation
- Cut the asparagus above 1 inch from the bottom of the stalks to remove the fibrous section. Next spread the asparagus out on a sheet pan and add olive oil, balsamic vinegar,
and seasoning. Toss to coat the asparagus.
One at a time place a slice of prosciutto on the cutting surface at a 45-degree angle
Place 4-5 Spears of asparagus at the top left corner of the prosciutto and gently roll the prosciutto around the asparagus. The goal is to roll it as tight as possible without tearing
the prosciutto and cover most of the spears leaving only a little bit exposed at the top and bottom.
Set your oven on low broil and place the asparagus on the bottom rack once oven has come to temperature. Broil for about 5-7 minutes until the prosciutto has tightened and
the asparagus has turned a bright green.
Note: You might like to drizzle them with a bit of balsamic glaze or grated Parmesan!
