Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound asparagus ends trimmed
  • 12 slices prosciutto
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Snap or cut off the tough, woody ends of the 1 pound asparagus.
  2. Place the trimmed asparagus in a bowl, drizzle with the 1 teaspoon olive oil, and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. if desired.
  3. Lay one slice of 12 slices prosciutto flat on a cutting board. Place the asparagus spears at one end and tightly roll the prosciutto around the spear in a diagonal direction.
  4. Preheat your air fryer temperature to 380 degrees F (195°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Carefully place the prosciutto-wrapped asparagus bundles in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overlap them—this ensures the prosciutto gets crispy. You may need to cook in batches.
  6. Set cook time for 6-8 minutes. The prosciutto should be golden brown and perfectly crispy, and the asparagus should be tender-crisp.
