Grilled Prosciutto Asparagus

Coming up with a side that the whole family loves can sometimes be a little challenging since there are 9 of us here, but because I love these kids, I keep trying! This is one of those dishes that MOST of us like.

I have found that Prosciutto is kind of like bacon, everybody loves it! So, when I am trying to get the kids to eat some veggies, why not wrap them in this salty buttery goodness? It gets them every time.

This is also the kind of side dish that when brought to a family function, it is one of the first dishes to go. It would go perfectly with my Traeger Prime Rib Roast or my Traeger Grilled Shrimp Kabobs.

You pick your favorite meat, and this side will pair perfectly with it. My favorite is my very simple Traeger Grilled Chicken. It’s simple and full of smoky chicken flavor. You really can’t go wrong with that one, and everyone loves it!

FAQ

How should I store leftover prosciutto asparagus?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to two days.

How do I reheat grilled asparagus wrapped in prosciutto?

Reheat briefly in a 350°F oven or an air fryer until warmed through and slightly crisp again. Avoid microwaving to keep the prosciutto from becoming chewy.

Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare the asparagus and prosciutto wraps a few hours in advance and refrigerate them until you’re ready to grill. Grill just before serving for best results.

What can I substitute for prosciutto?

Thin-cut bacon works if you pre-cook it slightly before wrapping. Turkey bacon is another option if you want something lighter.
