Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
- 1 pound asparagus tough ends cut away (try to get thicker asparagus, not pencil thin)
- 6 oz prosciutto
- olive oil spray
Lemon Garlic Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise use my homemade version for paleo/Whole30
- zest from 2 lemons about 1 tablespoon
- 1 garlic clove very finely minced
Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus Prep
Cut each piece of prosciutto in half lengthwise, so you have 2 very long and skinny slices of prosciutto.
Wrap each piece of asparagus with 1 of the half slices of prosciutto. Wrap it starting at the bottom, and at an upward angle. (see picture in post for example).
Repeat until all the asparagus is wrapped. You can either cook it immediately, or cover it and refrigerate until ready to cook. Will keep in the refrigerator for 2 days.
Lemon Garlic Aioli
In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayo, lemon zest and garlic. Stir until combined. (No need to add salt, the prosciutto is salty enough.)
Will keep covered in the fridge for 1 week.
Cooking and Serving the Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus
Preheat oven to 450 degrees with the oven rack in the upper third.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (not necessary, but makes for easier cleanup).
Arrange the prosciutto wrapped asparagus in a single layer. Spray with olive oil spray.
Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the prosciutto is crispy, turning the asparagus halfway thru.
Serve warm or room temperature with the lemon garlic aioli.
