Prosciutto-Wrapped Persimmons

Prep Time: 25 min • Cook Time: 20 min • Total time: 45 min

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil •

3 fuyu or hachiya persimmons, each one peeled and cut into eighths

• 24 small rosemary sprigs

• 24 very thin slices of prosciutto (about 1/2 pound)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. On a work surface, fold each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise to form a thin strip. Place a persimmon wedge at one end of each strip and roll it up in the prosciutto. Using a toothpick, poke a hole in the wrapped persimmon and slip in a sprig of rosemary.

3. Place the wrapped wedges on the baking sheet and brush them lightly with olive oil.

4. Roast for about 20 minutes, until the prosciutto-wrapped persimmons are lightly browned and sizzling. Serve warm or at room temperature.
