Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus with Citrus Bread Crumbs
8 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

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

Steps

    1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil. Remove tough root ends from asparagus. Coat asparagus with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Zest lemon (1 teaspoon). Chop parsley finely; crush croutons finely. Combine zest, parsley, croutons, and Parmesan.
    2. Divide asparagus into 8 even piles. Place each asparagus pile on 1 prosciutto slice and roll up. Place bundles on baking sheet, seam-side down; bake 8–10 minutes until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle with Parmesan mixture. Serve.
    Chef Tip: These bundles are great as appetizers and can be made with fresh greens beans instead of asparagus.
