Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Snap off the woody ends of the asparagus (if you sharply bend the asparagus near the base, it will snap in the right place). Discard the ends.
- Place the asparagus on the sheet and drizzle with 1 to 2 teaspoons olive oil, just enough to lightly coat the asparagus. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the asparagus, and toss until the spears are lightly coated in oil. Arrange the spears in a single layer on the pan.
- Bake just until the base of the asparagus is easily pierced through by a fork. Very thin asparagus, like the kind shown here, will take as little as 9 to 12 minutes, whereas thicker asparagus will need 15 to 20 minutes.
- Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and season however you'd like. You could keep it simple with a squeeze of lemon juice, or a sprinkle of Parmesan, or add a pat of butter or drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
- Roasted asparagus is best served when it's fresh out of the oven, but it will keep at room temperature for up to 1 hour or up to 4 days in the refrigerator (gently reheat before serving).

THE BEST ROASTED ASPARAGUS
The perfect roasted asparagus should be lightly browned and tender, yet bright green and crisp. Roasting the spears at a high temperature helps achieve this. We also browned grated Parmesan to make a nutty, crumbly frico topping. Wait until ready to serve to top the vegetables so the crisped cheese stays crunchy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.
- Put the asparagus, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and tender, but still bright green.
- Meanwhile, spread the Parmesan evenly in the bottom of a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook undisturbed until the cheese melts, sticks together and turns golden brown, about 2 minutes, then flip with a rubber spatula and cook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer the frico to a wire rack-lined baking sheet to cool completely, about 2 minutes. Break the frico into small crumbles and put in a small bowl. Add the lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and toss to combine.
- Transfer the roasted asparagus to a serving platter and squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the top. Top with the crumbled frico mixture.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown or yellow spots.
- Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
- Blanch the asparagus spears. This will help to tenderize them and bring out their flavor. To blanch the asparagus, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the asparagus spears and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the asparagus from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Pat the asparagus spears dry. Use a paper towel to pat the asparagus spears dry before wrapping them in the prosciutto slices.
- Wrap the asparagus spears in prosciutto slices. Lay a prosciutto slice on a flat surface. Place an asparagus spear in the center of the prosciutto slice and wrap it up tightly. Repeat this process with the remaining asparagus spears and prosciutto slices.
- Bake the asparagus parcels. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the asparagus parcels on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the prosciutto is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the asparagus parcels immediately. These are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
