The holiday crunch has begun (at least in my house it has).
Last minute shopping, prepping, and wrapping is under way but I wanted to take a quick moment to share this super simple, super delicious appetizer with you guys.
All you have to do is wrap some prosciutto around some fresh asparagus and you have a warm, crispy, salty, light holiday snack. If you really want to capture the holidays, be sure to leave some space between the prosciutto and wrap on a diagonal, then you can call it ‘candy cane prosciutto wrapped asparagus’ which will make you look like you are super fun, festive and creative. Enjoy!

I make these all the time! The only difference I do is I mix balsamic, evoo, garlic salt, and pepper, then toss the asparagus in it before wrapping. Parmesan cheese is a great idea though too! I have to add that next time!
I feel like i used a wire rack on my baking sheet for almost everything 🙂
