Ingredients:
1 lb. thick asparagus spears, woody ends trimmed
1 lb. smoked lean ham (packaged ham that's cut into same-size pieces will work best)

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400F/205C. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray. (If you have two or more baking sheets, and room in the oven, you can cook all the wrapped asparagus at once.)

Trim the woody ends of asparagus spears, making all pieces the same size. Roll a piece of ham around each piece of asparagus, securing with a toothpick inserted horizontally so the piece of asparagus will lay flat on the baking sheet. Lay asparagus on the sprayed baking sheet, staggering the pieces so you'll be able to turn them.

Roast asparagus for 8-10 minutes on the first side, or until the ham is lightly browned. Turn asparagus pieces over and roast 5-7 minutes more on the second side, until asparagus is barely tender-crisp and ham is lightly browned on both sides.spar

Repeat with more asparagus pieces if you're only using one baking sheet. Serve hot, with mustard dipping sauce on the side if desired.
