Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Description
Tender asparagus wrapped with salty prosciutto makes a super simple and tasty side dish or appetizer!
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
•
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
•
12 spears asparagus, trimmed
•
6 slices prosciutto
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
•
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste
Directions
1
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
2
Combine olive oil and red pepper flakes. Place asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil mixture over top; mix together with your hands to coat.
3
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, angling as you wrap to cover most of the asparagus. Arrange on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
4
Broil in the preheated oven until prosciutto is sizzling and crispy and asparagus is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.
