Instructions
Prep
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus. Rub the spears with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Wrap
Wrap a slice of ham around each spear in a spiral from top to bottom.
Air fry
Place in a single layer and air fry at 380°F for about 8–10 minutes, until the ham is crisp and the asparagus is tender.
- Use thin ham or prosciutto so it crisps quickly.
- Don't overcrowd the basket — single layer for crispy ham.
- A little grated Parmesan at the end is delicious.
