These crispy prosciutto wrapped asparagus bundles offer a perfect balance of salty, crunchy prosciutto and tender asparagus, paired with a sweet and tangy honey Dijon dip. Quick and easy to prepare, they make a delightful snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 810 thin slices Genoa-style prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Honey Dijon Dip:
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey (local or wildflower honey preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or Greek yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim about 1-2 inches off the woody ends of the asparagus.
  3. Group 3-4 asparagus spears per bundle depending on thickness.
  4. Tear a slice of prosciutto lengthwise if wide, then wrap snugly around each asparagus bundle, overlapping slightly to secure. Use tongs if needed.
  5. Place bundles seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Drizzle or brush olive oil lightly over the bundles. Sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes to ensure prosciutto crisps without burning and asparagus remains tender with a slight snap.
  8. While baking, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, vinegar or lemon juice, and mayo or Greek yogurt if using until smooth to make the honey Dijon dip.
  9. Serve the bundles warm with the honey Dijon dip on the side.

Notes

Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even crisping. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep wraps intact. Use fresh asparagus that snaps when bent. Reheat leftovers in a 375°F oven for 5-7 minutes to regain crispness. The honey Dijon dip can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to a week, improving in flavor over time.
