Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Lemony Crumb Topping
4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus spears
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 lemon, for zest
  • 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley
  • ½ cup garlic croutons
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 thin slices prosciutto

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Remove and discard tough root ends from asparagus, then brush asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill 2–3 minutes, turning often, until slightly softened. Remove from grill and set aside.
    2. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon). Chop parsley finely; crush croutons finely. Combine zest, parsley, croutons, and Parmesan.
    3. Divide asparagus into 8 piles. Place 1 pile of asparagus onto each slice prosciutto and roll up. Place bundles seam-side down on grill; grill 2–3 minutes, turning often, until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle with crumb topping. Serve.

    Chef's Tip: After wrapping with prosciutto, skewer asparagus bundles crosswise, forming a raft shape. This will make it easier to flip and grill evenly.

If fruits and vegetables are part of this recipe, be sure to wash thoroughly.
