Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

By dawnita7

Ingredients

• 8 or 9 asparagus spears
• 1/2 (16 oz) package frozen phyllo dough sheets, thawed
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus. Unwrap the phyllo and cut the stack in half lengthwise. Reserve one stack for later use. Cover the phyllo with a damp towel to keep it from drying out.
3. Take one sheet of phyllo and brush lightly with some melted butter. Sprinkle with some Parmesan. Place 2-3 spears of asparagus on the short end of the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style. Place each piece, seam side down on a baking sheet. Brush with more melted butter and sprinkle with more Parmesan. Repeat until all the asparagus spears are used up.
4. Place baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
