Quick! Name your favorite vegetable!
If you said asparagus, then I’ve got a delicious recipe for you today!
I’d have to say that my favorite veggies are asparagus and mushrooms. Actually, if I’m being brutally honest, mushrooms come first, followed veeery closely by asparagus. And then broccoli, potatoes, corn, and so on. I’m not really picky when it comes to veggies, but I have an extreme love for the first two that I mentioned.
And it just so happens that the hubster loves asparagus too, so we eat a lot of that in our house. And that’s just fine by me!
Since we eat it quite often, I’m always testing out new ways to prepare it. From this Roasted Lemon Parmesan Asparagus, to the simple roasted kind, I love it all.
But, after making this Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Feta, I think I may have just found my new favorite way to eat it.
Fresh asparagus is wrapped in thin slices of prosciutto, roasted to perfection and then topped with crumbed feta cheese. Salty, crispy and packed with flavor, this Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Feta makes an easy and delicious side dish!
There’s just something about prosciutto that makes it soooo good. It’s a meat that I hardly ever have, but when I do, I silently vow to eat it more. On sandwiches? It’s the best! In pasta? Give me some more! And wrapped around tender asapargus? Well that’s a winner for me. And you, too, if you love prosciutto.
And then comes the feta. Oh how I love feta. It’s savory, crumbly, and goes well with just about anything. Especially with asparagus and salty prosciutto. It definitely gives this veggie the perfect touch.

So many great flavors in one little package. This would be a perfect side dish for a dinner party because it’s easy, but it looks fancy!
Thanks, Blair! It really does look on the fancier side, but so easy to make! 🙂
Now this is the way to do asparagus! This looks SO easy to throw together, yet it’s still so elegant and pretty at the same time! This would be so good alongside a beef roast!
Thank you, Sarah! I love you idea of pairing it alongside a beef roast…that does sound delicious!
Oh gawsh, my favorite vegetable?! That’s like asking me to pick my favorite dog. I can’t! I love them all. 😉 And I definitely love asparagus, although I hated it when I was younger. Prosciutto wrapped asparagus is one of my favorite appetizers or sides and I LOVE that you jazzed it up with the feta!! Such a delicious addition, Gayle! I could totally eat my weight with these wrapped, stalky beauties! Pinned of course! Cheers, girlfriend!
Haha veggies are hard to pick a favorite, especially if you’re not picky! 🙂 Thanks for the asparagus love and pin, Cheyanne!
Oh gosh…I can’t say I have a favorite; it definitely depends on the day…and my mood! hahaha! But asparagus is absolutely in the mix – especially when it’s coupled with prosciuto and feta!! Pinned!
It is so hard to pick a favorite! Thanks for the kind words and pin, Annie!
I just LOVE prosciutto too! It makes everything a little more special. This would be the perfect side dish for Easter! (Can you tell I’m yearning for Spring already?!?)
Haha I’m totally wishing it was spring, too! Thanks, Ashley!
My favourite veggie? That’s so hard and depending on when you ask me, my answer could vary. I love ’em all!! Asparagus would definitely be at the tip top of the list, though, especially when you add feta and prosciutto. Love that it is so quick to prepare, but still looks super fancy and so perfect when you have guests over….or even better as part of a random weeknight dinner. Pinned, of course. Hope you have a fabulous week, my friend!
I love ALL the veggies too, though asparagus definitely ranks in the top two! Thanks for the asparagus love and pin, Dawn!
ASPARAGUS! (It’s my fave too!) and, in addition to a side or an app, I would totally make this as a light lunch. Pinning! 🙂
Thanks, Kate! Asparagus is just so good!
This is such a creative way to prepare asparagus! Love it! They are definitely my favorite veggie, although I almost always grill or roast them! Trying this recipe soon!
Thanks, Mira! I’ve never grilled asparagus before…I will have to try that!
Asparagus IS my favorite vegetable, and I’ve been known to eat an entire bunch myself off the sheet pan when I roast it. It’s in everything when it’s in season! I would absolutely inhale these — I love that you wrapped them in prosciutto and the feta is such a delicious touch!
I’m with you, Marcie! I have to muster up ALL of my willpower not to eat asparagus from the pan. Thanks for the kind words!
This looks so amazing, Gayle! I adore asparagus – we made something similar to this for Christmas, but with some cream cheese wrapped in instead of the feta. Feta sounds even better! I’m on Whole30 right now though…so I’ll skip the cheese, but I can totally still make these. Going on my to-make list 🙂
Oh I will have to try it wrapped with cream cheese…sounds delish! And yay for doing Whole30, I want to try that! Thanks for the asparagus love, friend!
I like asparagus anyway, but wrapped in prosciutto and sprinkled feta cheese?! What more could you want? 🙂
It’s SO good, Amanda!
What a question!! I must say, you definitely have me intrigued about eating asparagus more. 🙂 Good to know that mushrooms are your absolute fave… that might be answer too! Meanwhile, I love how creatively you prepare, well, just about everything! This recipe, in particular looks impressive enough to serve at a dinner party. How cool is that? Thanks for sharing such a creative and easy recipe, G! Hope you have an awesome week. Pinned, of course! xoxo
Thanks so much for the asparagus love, Demeter! I might just serve this the next time I have guests over. Hope you have a great week, too!
I LOVE so many veggies but Asparagus is definitely one of the top contenders! I can and have finished an entire tray of roasted asparagus by myself! I love that you wrapped them in prosciutto and the feta! Looks so yummy, Gayle!
Thanks, Kelly! Isn’t asparagus the best?!
one of my absolute favorite things to eat! love love love prosciutto wrapped asparagus!! Beautiful!
Thanks, Alice!
I’m not sure I can pick a favorite, but asparagus is at the top of the list. I love prosciutto with it, but I’ve never tried it with feta too. I’m absolutely going to try it!
Thank you, Rachelle! The feta gives the asparagus the perfect touch!
I didn’t start eating asparagus until a few years ago but I love it so much now! I’m usually just boring and roast it with olive oil and salt, but I like your way much better! Especially with all that feta cheese!
Thanks, Izzy! Roasting it plain is such a good way too, but it’s nice to switch it up every once in a while! 🙂
One this sounds delicious! And two reminds me so much of a friend! She made something similar to this for easter last year but cooked them on the stovetop … and managed to set off the fire alarm while doing so (think smoke everywhere). I need to send this to her – I think it would be much better in the oven!! haha 🙂
Oh no! Maybe the oven will be safer for your friend! 🙂 Thanks for the asparagus love, Ashley!
It’s so hard for me to choose my favorite vegetable! Tomatoes would definitely be it, but since they aren’t technically a vegetable… I’d have to say kale… but I really do love asparagus and also mushrooms. I just can’t pick! Haha. Anyway, this asparagus looks amazing, Gayle! I love prosciutto and feta – I bet it goes perfectly with that asparagus. In fact, I can almost taste it.. my mouth is watering!
I was thinking of tomatoes too, but I know they’re a fruit, so I didn’t want to confuse anyone! 🙂 Thanks for the asparagus love, Keri!
love asparagus too! this sounds like a wonderful side dish Gayle!
Thank you, Manali!
I love how simple this dish is but how elegant it is for get togethers! I love prosciutto on sandwiches with some mustard and cheese slice!
Thanks, Ami!
Oh man I LOVE these!! Prosciutto, asparagus, feta…all favorites. Gorgeous photos too, Gayle!
Thanks, Alyssa!
