Prosciutto and lemon juice add a wonderful touch to roasted asparagus in this simple yet elegant appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients

olive oil cooking spray
1 pound fresh asparagus
1/4 pound prosciutto
toothpicks
1 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
2 Bend asparagus spears and snap off tough ends. Wrap 3 to 4 spears with a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick. Place bundles in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle some lemon juice and olive oil over the top.
