Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the asparagus in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
1 lb Asparagus
Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and red chili flakes.
3 Tablespoons Olive oil, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Pepper, 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon Red chili flakes
Top with thin slices of prosciutto that are torn into pieces. Roast for 10 minutes, or until the asparagus is fork-tender.
2 ounces Prosciutto
Remove from the oven and top with freshly grated parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy!
2 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Make sure to use parchment paper or aluminum foil to line the pan! By doing this, the most cleanup you'll need to do is just tossing the paper at the end.

If you're using thick asparagus, make sure to trim liberally, and roast for 5 more minutes. How long to roast asparagus at 400 really depends on thickness asparagus you're using, and how crispy or tender you prefer them!

You can also make this dish in the air fryer! However, if you do, don't add the prosciutto until after it cooks. The convection heating in an air fryer can throw the lightweight meat shreds around and cause them to come in contact with the heating elements.

This recipe will cook the asparagus to a tender but still firm point. If you like crispy-charred asparagus (and who doesn't?), leave off the prosciutto for the first 10 minutes of cook time. Then add it, and cook an additional 10 minutes.
