Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 425°F. In a big bowl, mix together some lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic. Toss the asparagus in this mixture until they’re nicely coated. Spread the asparagus out on a baking sheet and pop them in the oven for about 8 minutes, or until they’re just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Let them cool down to room temp, which usually takes around 15 minutes. Meanwhile, slice each prosciutto strip in half lengthwise and spread about a teaspoon of goat cheese on each piece. Wrap each asparagus spear with a cheese-covered prosciutto strip, spiraling it around. You can serve these right away or cover and chill them until you’re ready to enjoy.
