  • 1 Knife & Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Notes

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Asparagus

  1. Trim the woody ends off the asparagus, making them about 6-8 inches long.
  2. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 2: Wrap the Asparagus with Prosciutto

  1. Take a slice of prosciutto and gently wrap it around each asparagus spear, leaving the tips exposed.
  2. You may need to slightly overlap the prosciutto as you wrap to ensure it stays in place.

Step 3: Air Fry the Asparagus

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  3. 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.
