Ingredients

  • 4 Mozzarella cheese sticks
  • 24 Asparagus tops -- ⅓ - ½ the length of the spear
  • Garlic salt
  • Hot cherry peppers
  • 24 Wonton wrappers
  • Shredded Parmesan

Instructions

  • Wash asparagus, cut off the top third to half off each spear (depending on the size of the stalk), then sprinkle those tops with garlic salt.
  • Cut your cheese sticks into 24 pieces by slicing them in thirds lengthwise and then slicing those pieces in half.
  • Place a piece of cheese, a piece of asparagus, and a bit of cherry pepper in the center of each wonton wrapper.
  • Dab the top corner of the wrapper with a bit of water, roll up diagonally, then just press lightly to seal.
  • Arrange roll-ups on a sprayed cookie sheet.
  • Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray and add a bit of shredded Parmesan to the top of each.
  • Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes, then broil for 3 minutes until nicely browned.

Notes

Although this recipe uses just the tops of the asparagus stalks, you don’t have to waste the rest of your asparagus: Roast it up with a little olive oil, sea salt, & crushed red pepper for an easy side dish.
