Ham Wrapped Asparagus

Ingredients

• Asparagus

  Raw

  16 spear, medium or 256g

• Sliced ham

  Regular (approximately 11% fat)

  8 slice or 224g

• Olive oil

  Salad or cooking

  2 tbsp or 27g

Directions

1. Rinse the asparagus, pat dry, and snap or trim off the tough woody ends.
2. Tear each ham slice lengthwise to make two long strips. Wrap one strip tightly around each asparagus spear, leaving the tips exposed.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Work in batches if needed to avoid crowding.
4. Add the wrapped spears and cook, turning occasionally, until the ham is lightly crisp and the asparagus is tender-crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side (4–6 minutes total).
5. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
