Roasted Asparagus Wrapped in Prosciutto

Ingredients

• 1 pound asparagus (about 19 stalks), trimmed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 6 to 8 paper-thin slices prosciutto, halved lengthwise

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Snap the dry stem ends off of each asparagus and place on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast until the asparagus is tender, about 15 minutes. Cool completely.
3. Wrap each asparagus with 1 piece (about 1/2 a slice) of prosciutto, exposing tips. Arrange on a platter and serve at room temperature.
