Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Asparagus
- Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, making them about 6-8 inches long.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.
Step 2: Wrap the Asparagus with Prosciutto
- Take a slice of prosciutto and gently wrap it around each asparagus spear, leaving the tips exposed.
- You may need to slightly overlap the prosciutto as you wrap to ensure it stays in place.
Step 3: Air Fry the Asparagus
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
- Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the asparagus is tender. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!
- Optionally, drizzle with fresh lemon juice and top with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
- Serve immediately as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!
Pro Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus:
✅ Don’t overcrowd the basket – cook in batches if needed to allow for even cooking and crispiness.✅ Use thin slices of prosciutto – thick slices may not crisp up as well.
✅ For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of balsamic glaze after cooking.
✅ Adjust cooking time based on your asparagus thickness – thinner spears will cook faster. 🔥 Enjoy these crispy, savory Air Fryer Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus at your next dinner or party! 🌱🍖
