AIP Friendly Cilantro-Lime Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Tender asparagus spears wrapped in crispy, golden-edged prosciutto make for a dish that feels genuinely special — the kind of thing you'd order at a restaurant and then immediately wish you could recreate at home. Roasting at high heat does all the heavy lifting, crisping the prosciutto while keeping the asparagus perfectly fork-tender inside. The real star, though, is the bright cilantro-lime drizzle whisked together with fresh ginger and turmeric — it cuts right through the richness of the prosciutto and ties everything together beautifully. Following an elimination-style protocol can make sauces and seasonings feel like a minefield, but every single ingredient here — from the olive oil to the freshly squeezed lime juice — fits cleanly within those boundaries. No nightshades, no grains, no dairy, no shortcuts that sneak in problematic ingredients. This recipe serves four and comes together in under 30 minutes, making it an easy win for a weeknight side or an impressive addition to a dinner spread. Finish with an extra squeeze of lime at the table and watch it disappear fast.
