Ham-Wrapped Asparagus Recipe - Made Fit TV - Ep 92

Okay, let’s just get it out in the open right off the bat… asparagus may make your pee stink, but it certainly doesn’t stink for your health!  Asparagus is one of the best vegetables you can incorporate into your nutrition plan.  It’s high in Vitamin K, Folic Acid, and antioxidants. It’s also great for your digestion, managing menstrual cramps (for the ladies!), and for the anti-aging battle we’re all fighting.

So, in this week’s Made Fit TV episode, I show you how to make my ultimate favorite asparagus recipe that has me eating it up like candy - really!  Check out the video and copy the recipe below for my famous ham-wrapped asparagus.  It’s high in protein, low in calories, and packed with nutrients.

Ham-wrapped Asparagus

Ingredients: one bushel of asparagus, one package of lean low-sodium ham, 1 tsp olive oil, pepper, garlic powder

1. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and cover a cookie sheet with foil sprayed lightly with non-stick spray

2. Rinse the asparagus in cold water, trim the asparagus by holding at both - it will snap naturally; discard the bottom portion and keep the top part

3. Pat the asparagus spears dry, take two spears and wrap with one slice of ham

4. Place each wrapped piece on the foil side-by-side and lightly brush with olive oil

5. Drizzle with pepper and garlic powder to taste, bake at 400 for about 8 minutes, more or less depending on how tender or crispy you prefer the ham

6. Enjoy four pieces as an appetizer or snack, or eat more for easy and quick meal!
