"These crispy asparagus cigars are the ultimate spring snack! They’re perfect for a picnic, brunch, or as a quick finger food that requires no knife or cutting board. The filo pastry gives you that irresistible ASMR-worthy crunch, while the salty prosciutto and nutty Parmesan wrap the tender asparagus in a wonderfully savory blanket. The best part? You can easily adapt the recipe with your favorite fillings—try adding fresh herbs or a drizzle of lemon zest for a twist. They’re guaranteed to disappear fast, so make extra!"

Step 1/3
- 2 stalks green asparagus
- 6⅔ g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 slices prosciutto
- 1 sheets phyllo dough
- cutting board
- knife
- fine grater
Wash the green asparagus, trim off the woody ends, and peel the lower third of the stalks if needed. Finely grate the Parmesan and slice the prosciutto lengthwise in half. Lay out the filo pastry sheets and cut each one in half crosswise to get twelve rectangles.
Step 2/3
- salt
- pepper
Place a piece of prosciutto on each filo rectangle, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, and lay an asparagus spear along the bottom edge. Season with salt and pepper, then roll the asparagus tightly in the pastry.
Step 3/3
- ⅛ tbsp olive oil
- air fryer
Brush the pastry rolls with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan. Preheat the air fryer to 200  °C. Place the rolls in the basket in batches and cook for approx. 8–10 min. until golden and crispy.
Enjoy your meal!
