How To Make Easy Ham Asparagus Rolls
Step One: Start by preheating your air fryer to 360 degrees F, air fryer setting. If you do not have a preheat setting, run your air fry for 3-4 minutes at 360 degrees F, air fryer setting.
Step Two: Coat the asparagus with olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper. Place your asparagus into the air fryer basket, and set cook time for 8-10 minutes.
Step Three: Remove the asparagus from the air fryer, and wrap 3-4 pieces of asparagus in the ham.
Easy Ham Asparagus Rolls Recipe Tips
- Choose fresh, firm asparagus for the best texture and flavor.
- Wrap the asparagus tightly in ham so it stays secure while cooking.
- Lightly brush or spray with olive oil to ensure a golden finish.
- Season with salt and pepper before air frying for balanced flavor.
- If your air fryer is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Serving Suggestions
- Hollandaise Sauce: Add a few spoon full of hollandaise sauce, over the ham, right before serving.
- Cheese Sauce: Add a couple of tablespoons of nacho cheese sauce right before serving.
Storing Instructions
- Storing: Allow rolls to cool completely before storing. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes for crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the ham slightly crispy.
Other Cooking Instructions
If you don’t have an air fryer, preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the ham asparagus rolls on a parchment-lined sheet pan for 10–12 minutes, or until the asparagus is tender and the ham is slightly crisp. You can also use a stovetop skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, for about 8–10 minutes until cooked through.
Easy Ham Asparagus Rolls Recipe Faqs
Can I make these ahead of time? You can assemble them a few hours ahead and store in the fridge, then air fry just before serving.
Can I freeze them? Yes, assemble and freeze on a tray, then air fry from frozen for a few extra minutes until heated through.
Can I add cheese? Absolutely! A thin slice of mozzarella or cheddar works perfectly inside the roll.
What sides go best with these rolls? Serve with a simple salad, roasted potatoes, or a light dipping sauce for a complete snack or appetizer.
