Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C / 200°C fan / 425°F
- Prepare the asparagus spears by removing the woody ends. You can do this by holding the spears at the top and tail of the spear and bending until it snaps. It will snap at the point where the spear becomes woody.
- Half the slices of prosciutto lengthways so that you have 12 long strips of ham.
- Wrap each asparagus spear with one strip of prosciutto - starting from the head of the spear and wrapping diagonally downwards, until most of the spear is covered.
- Place on a non stick baking sheet and bake in the centre of oven for approx 10 - 12 minutes *
- Serve with a side salad or with a small amount of fat free mayonnaise for dipping.
Notes
* If you are using thick asparagus stalks like I did, they will probably take 10 - 12 minutes for the asparagus to become tender. Thinner asparagus stalks will take less time, but you do want to bake them enough so that the prosciutto crisps up.
