Time 20m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
ΒΌ teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 spears asparagus, trimmed
6 slices prosciutto
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Combine olive oil and red pepper flakes. Place asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil mixture over top; mix together with your hands to coat.
  • Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap a strip of prosciutto around each asparagus spear, angling as you wrap to cover most of the asparagus. Arrange on the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until prosciutto is sizzling and crispy and asparagus is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Transfer asparagus to a serving platter. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and serve immediately.
