Broiled asparagus spears wrapped in prosciutto make a finger licking treat to nibble on any time of day.  When you crave a salty snack and want to keep on track with your veggie intake, twist these up in under 15 minutes.  A little drizzle of gently melted Olivio Buttery Spread infused with lemon and rosemary send us running for seconds.  Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs Asparagus Spears, ends trimmed
  • 3 Tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked Black Pepper
  • 16 thin slices Prosciutto
  • 1/2 cup Olivio Original or Vegan (Dairy-Free) Buttery Spread
  • 1 Lemon Wedge
  • 1 sprig of Rosemary

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven broiler and position rack approx 6″ from top.
  2. Place trimmed asparagus on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Gently toss spears until all sides are covered.
  3. One at a time, roll prosciutto around the asparagus.  Start the prosciutto just beneath the flowering scales and twist down at a diagonal. Allow for a very small overlap.
  4. Position the prosciutto wrapped asparagus evenly across the baking sheet and allow space between each spear.
  5. Place under the broiler for 3 minutes.  Pull from oven and use oven tongs to gently flip each spear.  Continue to bake for 3 minutes or until fat has rendered and prosciutto begins to crisp.
  6. Meanwhile, in a small pan on low heat, gently melt the Olivio and add the lemon and rosemary.  Allow the flavors to infuse off heat.
  7. For serving, drizzle the Olivio mixture across the top of the asparagus or serve in a small dipping bowl on the side.
