Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Butter a shallow baking dish that is long enough to hold the asparagus. Season the asparagus with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide the asparagus into 8 equal bundles. Arrange 2 slices of the prosciutto on a work surface so they slightly overlap each other. Place an asparagus bundle on top and roll up carefully in the prosciutto. Arrange in the prepared baking dish. Flatten the top of each bundle slightly and sprinkle with 1/4 of the seasoned bread crumbs. Drizzle with the olive oil.
- Roast in the oven until heated through and crisp, about 10 minutes. Serve at once on a platter with the sliced ham.
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 cup fine dried bread crumbs
- Pinch gray salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan
- To make the seasoned bread crumbs, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Tilt the pan and then add the minced garlic and saute briefly until pale gold. Add the bread crumbs, season with salt and pepper, and lower the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the bread crumbs are toasted, about 3 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and add the parsley, lemon zest, and Parmesan. Toss well. (The crumbs keep, tightly sealed and refrigerated, for several days.)
ROASTED PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ASPARAGUS
My husband clipped this recipe from a magazine about 7 years ago, which is something he had never done before. When he brought it home, I agreed to make it for him, and it was great. Since then, I have served it as a first course at many holiday meals. You can also serve it as an hors d'oeuvres.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a little salt and coarse pepper, and toss. (*Go easy on the salt or omit it altogether if your prosciutto is exceptionally salty.) Roast until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips placing back onto cookie sheet. Bake 3-5 minutes longer. Place on serving platter and sprinkle lightly with more pepper.
Tips:
- When choosing asparagus, look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips.
- To trim the asparagus, snap off the tough ends. You can also use a knife to cut off the bottom inch or two.
- Prosciutto can be found in the deli section of most grocery stores. Look for thinly sliced prosciutto that is not too dry.
- If you don't have parchment paper, you can use aluminum foil. Just be sure to grease the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- To make sure the asparagus is evenly cooked, try to choose spears that are all about the same size.
- Roasted prosciutto-wrapped asparagus can be served as an appetizer or a side dish. It's also a great addition to a buffet or party platter.
