Directions
Lightly heat your oven to 425°F. In a big bowl, mix together the lemon juice, olive oil, and garlic. Toss the asparagus in this mixture until they’re nicely coated. Spread the asparagus out on a baking pan and roast for about 8 minutes, or until they’re just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Let them cool down to room temperature, which should take around 15 minutes. While you wait, cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise and spread about a teaspoon of goat cheese onto each piece. Then, wrap each asparagus spear with a prosciutto strip in a loose spiral. You can serve these right away or pop them in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with a drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of grated parmesan. It pairs well with a light salad or as part of a larger appetizer platter. A dipping sauce like garlic aioli or balsamic glaze can add an extra layer of flavor.
Reheating And Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stovetop to keep the wrapping crisp. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
