With just three simple ingredients, this supertasty snack is a great late afternoon treat. Serve it to your family and friends and before you know it, they’ll all be gone . . . and that’s a good thing!
Ingredients
- 1 pound (455 g) fresh asparagus
- 4 ounces (115 g) thinly sliced prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) ghee or grass-fed butter
How to Make It
- Cut the bottom 2 inches (5 cm) off the asparagus. Then cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise and individually wrap each piece around an asparagus spear.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the ghee. Add the wrapped asparagus and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until the prosciutto is crispy. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10 minutes so the asparagus can steam.
- Alternatively, you can roast them at 450°F (230°C, or gas mark 8) on a baking sheet. After you’ve wrapped the asparagus with prosciutto, brush them with melted ghee/butter, bake for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
