- Total Time: 22
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound asparagus spears, trimmed
- 1 (3 oz) package of prosciutto slices
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium heat.While the grill is heating up you can prepare the food.
- In a small bowl combine extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, onion powder, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
- On a cutting board cut off the bottom 2 inches of each asparagus spear. The stalky woody bottom should be cut off.
- Take one slice of prosciutto and twirl it around to wrap each asparagus spear. The prosciutto will stick to the asparagus as you twist it on it. Continue this pattern till all the asparagus are wrapped.
- Place the prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears into the olive oil mixture. Take tongs and mix all the spears so they are all drenched in the olive oil mixture.
- Take the tongs and place the asparagus spears on the grill. Cook on low for 6 minutes a side or until prosciutto is crisp and asparagus is tender.
Notes
- Do not add any additional salt to this recipe as the prosciutto is salty enough.

I have done asparagus with bacon before but I have never tried it with prosciutto. This sound very appetizing! It also sounds a lot easier to work with than bacon. I only recently just started eating asparagus. I learned I really enjoyed it so I am looking for all kinds of new ways to eat it. I will be trying this next!
