A savory and elegant appetizer or side dish, these prosciutto-wrapped asparagus spears are grilled to perfection, offering the perfect combo of crispy, salty, and tender with every bite.

🍴 Ingredients

• 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed
• 1 package thinly sliced prosciutto
• Olive oil
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Optional: lemon wedges for serving

🔥 Instructions

Prep the Asparagus:
Wash and trim the woody ends from the asparagus spears. Pat dry thoroughly.

Wrap with Prosciutto:
Wrap each asparagus spear with a slice of prosciutto, starting from the base and spiraling to the tip. If the prosciutto slices are wide, cut them in half lengthwise before wrapping.

Drizzle and Season:
Place wrapped spears on a tray and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Add a few cracks of black pepper for extra flavor.

Grill to Perfection:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the spears for about 2–3 minutes per side until the prosciutto is crisp and the asparagus is tender.

Serve:
Transfer to a platter and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top if desired. Serve warm.
