📝 Preparation Steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

Remove the woody, tough ends from the asparagus. To do this, grab a handful of stems (5-6 at a time) and start to fold near the bottom of the stem. Each stem should break at the spot where it starts to toughen.

Cut each piece of prosciutto into quarters (you should have about 16 pieces). Working with one asparagus stem at a time, wrap a piece of prosciutto around the middle of the stem. Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat with remaining prosciutto and asparagus.

Brush the wrapped stems lightly with olive oil, concentrating most on the flowery tops which dry out easily. Sprinkle with pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon).

Bake until the asparagus stems are tender and the prosciutto is crisp, about ⏱️ 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
