Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
16 spears fresh asparagus, trimmed
16 slices prosciutto

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly coat the foil with olive oil.
Take one slice of prosciutto and wrap it around each asparagus spear. Begin at the bottom of the spear and spiral upwards towards the tip. Place the wrapped spears on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 5 minutes. Remove the pan, and shake it gently back and forth to ensure the spears roll over. Return the pan to the oven and continue baking until the asparagus is tender and the prosciutto is wonderfully crisp, approximately another 5 minutes. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
