Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh asparagus spears
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 lemon, for zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley
- ½ cup garlic croutons
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 thin slices prosciutto
Steps
- Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Remove and discard tough root ends from asparagus, then brush asparagus with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill 2–3 minutes, turning often, until slightly softened. Remove from grill and set aside.
- Zest lemon (1 teaspoon). Chop parsley finely; crush croutons finely. Combine zest, parsley, croutons, and Parmesan.
- Divide asparagus into 8 piles. Place 1 pile of asparagus onto each slice prosciutto and roll up. Place bundles seam-side down on grill; grill 2–3 minutes, turning often, until asparagus is tender and prosciutto is crisp. Transfer to serving platter; sprinkle with crumb topping. Serve.
Chef's Tip: After wrapping with prosciutto, skewer asparagus bundles crosswise, forming a raft shape. This will make it easier to flip and grill evenly.
