How to Make Asparagus With Serrano Ham

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a roasting pan large enough to hold the asparagus spears in a single layer.
  3. Swirl the olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  4. Cut each slice of serrano ham in half lengthwise.
  5. Trim and discard the tough, woody ends of the asparagus spears.
  6. Wrap each asparagus spear with half a slice of serrano ham.
  7. Place the wrapped asparagus spears in the prepared roasting pan.
  8. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  9. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  10. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender-crisp but still firm. Thicker spears may require a few extra minutes.
  11. Do not overcook; the asparagus should be firm enough to pick up with your fingers.
  12. Serve immediately while hot with your favorite aioli dipping sauce.
