This week my daily recipe email from RealSimple.com included this recipe for Asparagus with Prosciutto Chips. I love asparagus and I love prosciutto so I had to try it! This asparagus was fantastic! Even our younger dinner guests ate some of the asparagus (although mostly they picked out and ate the prosciutto)! You will love how simple the recipe is with minimal ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 3 oz. of prosciutto
- 1 bunch of asparagus
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a baking sheet place the prosciutto in a single layer and bake until crisp (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool.
2. Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add the asparagus. Cook 3-5 minutes or until tender. Drain asparagus and pat dry.
3. Cut asparagus into 2-inch pieces. In serving dish add olive oil, salt and pepper and toss to coat. Break the crispy prosciutto into pieces and sprinkle over asparagus.
4. Serve and enjoy!

Being on the receiving end of the yummy asparagus and prosciutto dish, I can agree that it was a fan favorite. The younger guests have since asked me to replicate the recipe, but I have not done so with much success. I guess we’ll just have to be asked back for dinner.

I made this last night after your post! I think perhaps I will try again with a better quality prosciutto. But I had never done asparagus boiled like that and was pleased with how it turned out.
Thanks!
