edit Ingredients
8 |
thawed phyllo sheets |
½ |
cup extra-virgin olive oil or melted butter |
1 |
cup chopped fresh herbs (chives, tarragon, lemon, verbena, dill, or thyme) |
32 |
medium asparagus spears, trimmed |
edit Preparation
Step 1 |
Work with 1 sheet of phyllo at a time; leave the others covered with plastic and a damp towel. Brush one sheet with a little oil or butter, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons herbs. Cut sheet vertically into 4 strips. Place one asparagus spear diagonally across the corner of one strip, then roll tightly like a cigar. Tuck in remaining dough at end. Repeat with remaining phyllo and asparagus. Transfer wrapped asparagus to platter, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. |
Step 2 |
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange wrapped asparagus on a baking sheet. Bake until pastry is golden and asparagus is tender, about 20 minutes. Serve warm. |

edit About Phyllo-Wrapped Asparagus
This winning presentation is achieved by wrapping and baking a single asparagus spear in paper-thin phyllo pastry that's been sprinkled with herbs. A platter of these spears looks impressive on a buffet table, but be warned, they will disappear quickly. The asparagus can be wrapped up to 2 days before baking; keep covered in the refrigerator.
