This is one of my favorite recipes when I want an appetizer that’s simple and quick to make, looks nice and tastes delicious. Roasted asparagus with Serrano ham is a wonderful appetizer idea for the holidays. Although I love Serrano ham for this recipe, if you don’t find it, just use prosciutto. Your guests are going to love you!
You can buy Serrano ham online at La Tienda
Ingredients
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
8 thin slices Serrano ham
Directions
1. Pre-heat the oven to 400° F.
2. Place the asparagus on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the asparagus for about 12 minutes or until tender. Let them cool.
4. Wrap each asparagus with ½ slice of Serrano ham. Transfer to a Platter and serve.

Yum! I’ve only had this a few times in my life but love the combo of flavors!
It’s all what I need now ! I love asparagus with ham
Fantastic, Erica !
Have a beautiful day
They look very nice, and if I could I would pick them right off the page and have a few with my tea right now! You would be proud, I made the egg dish I saw on here, came out nice and I did it again, but with a different recipe of my own…love your site…
yum…looks like prosciutto? is it similar…love both the ham and the asparagus
vat a great idea!! love it!!
cheers!
you gotta love the simple stuff…especially around the holidays. looks delish
Thank you guys!
Asparagus is one of most favorite veggies! This is such a terrific way to serve it. It looks beautiful too!
I don’t cook asparagus so often as it’s not so common in Turkey. It’s great to learn this new and easy recipe. They look like a great appetizer.
great recipe as ever don’t give up on the baking i keep trying as well lol
This is one serious snack, appetizers or side dish! I love serrano ham and asparagus! I know this would be very delicious!
MMM! We made this a few times this summer, but used regular bacon (wrapped around 2-3 spears depending on their size). Over a campfire or BBQ added a wonderful smokiness! I have never heard of serrano ham before, I will have to keep my eyes open for it.
This is one of my favorite appetizers ever–so simple but always so good.
Oh I just love these !…So simple yet VERY delicious !
Great idea! Saw Giada make something similar, but with proscuitto.
Erica, this look amazing. I love asparagus, look so tasty with ham.!

Thank you all for visiting!
Wow, this sounds delicious. Although Greece produces the best asparagus, it all goes for export so we rarely get some in our markets. I would love to try this if I do get some.
I so love these as appetizers or as a light lunch!
I love this! So simple and tasty. I’m inspired to put in another order at La Tienda!
Oh yum, nice and simple which is best – really brings the flavors out of the ingredients. This looks so good
This is a good recipe, thank you! I recommend using jamon iberico rather than standard ham to make it even better. I get my Spanish ham from http://buyjamon.com
