Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus

If you are looking for a tasty appetizer or snack that doesn't pack a whole ton of calories, look no further! With only 88 calories per serving and 7 grams of protein, this snack is the right choice.  Jackie and I enjoyed making these as an appetizer for game night!  They are perfect because they cure that salty and crunchy craving.

If you have never had prosciutto before, it's the perfect replacer for bacon.  It's healthier in that it is not as fatty as bacon and has a whole ton of flavor, meaning you can use less and get all the flavor you need.  Prosciutto is also delicious eaten uncooked or crispy!  It has been dry-cured so it is perfectly safe to eat without heating it up.

Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus:

1/2 bunch of asparagus

1/4 pound of thin sliced prosciutto

pepper, to taste

olive oil, as needed

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Wrap each asparagus with a piece of prosciutto.

Line asparagus in a baking dish.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with pepper. 

Bake until the asparagus are fork tender.

Hope you enjoy our healthy appetizer recipe!  Let us know if you tried it and if you enjoyed as much as we do!
