These Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Lemon Pesto Crostini are a great appetizer to throw together at the last minute. This is a hit at every party!
I love making my own Pesto. It’s so easy to make and is way better than any store bought Pesto. Plus it’s very versatile!
You can make so many different varieties, and use it on anything from pasta, pizza, and appetizers like this yummy one I made today!
Basically all you need to make this Lemon Pesto is Italian Parsley, Cashews, Parmesan, Garlic, Salt, Lemon Juice, and EVOO.
Then blend it all up in a food processor and Boom! Now you have a delicious Pesto!
For the Crostini I used Schar gluten free baguettes. This is by far my favorite gluten free baguette that I have found. And no this is not sponsored, I just truly love this brand and wanted to share it with you. 🙂
Just slice the baguette into 1 inch slices and bake at 400 degrees, 4 minutes each side or until crispy. While that’s toasting you can sauté the Asparagus up!
Then spread the pesto on the Crostini, wrap the Asparagus with Prosciutto, and that’s it!
I hope you guys love these Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus with Lemon Pesto Crostini as much as we did! They’re:
