Follow The Directions

01

Step

Position an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil and red pepper flakes. Place the trimmed asparagus spears on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil mixture over the asparagus, ensuring each spear is lightly coated. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Halve each slice of prosciutto lengthwise. Gently wrap a strip of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, angling as you wrap to cover most of the asparagus. Arrange the wrapped spears on the baking sheet. Season lightly with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Broil in the preheated oven until the prosciutto is sizzling and deeply golden, and the asparagus is tender-crisp, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (7 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar to enhance the flavors, and serve immediately. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese during the last minute of broiling.
Choose asparagus spears that are similar in thickness for even cooking.
High-quality prosciutto is key to achieving the best flavor and crispy texture.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
