Fresh asparagus coated in garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, then wrapped in salty, tender prosciutto ham, and roasted to perfection.  Hungry yet?  I know, I know… I’m cruel… but seriously, this roasted asparagus is really THAT good! Some folks aren’t fans of asparagus, and I can understand that… it has a distinct flavor and texture that just isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.  However, roasting vegetables changes the flavor and texture, so even if you’re not a huge fan of asparagus, I think you’ll like this roasted asparagus recipe.  If I haven’t convinced you, you could easily swap out the asparagus for fresh green beans.  That would be easily delicious!! Also, if you couldn’t find prosciutto ham, bacon or even regular thin sliced ham would work as well.  Basically you just want a salty meat wrapped around the roasted vegetables, getting crispy and delicious!! I’ve been getting into roasting more and more vegetables… it’s a great way to change up your veggies.  Tired of boring old steamed asparagus or green beans?  Roast them instead… and voila!  Delicious vegetables Don’t they look puuuurty? All ready to roast!   Roasted Parmesan Crusted Asparagus   Print Prep time 5 mins Cook time 18 mins Total time 23 mins   Fresh asparagus coated in garlic, olive oil, and Parmesan cheese, then wrapped in salty, tender prosciutto ham, and roasted to perfection!
