Prosciutto Wrapped Green Beans with Fried Onion Crumble

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425º. If using an air fryer, preheat to 375º. Prepare an ice bath.

2. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil in a large stock pot or dutch oven. Add the green beans and cook until tender but still crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain and plunge immediately into ice bath to stop cooking. Once fully cooled, drain and dry thoroughly with a kitchen towel.

3. Whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the beans and toss to coat. 

4. Lay out your prosciutto slices. Divide beans into 6 even bundles. Place 1 bundle at the end of a piece of prosciutto and roll up lengthwise. Repeat with remaining bundles.

5. Arrange bundles, seam side down, on the baking sheet. If using an air fryer, place in basket leaving a little room between each bundle. Bake or air fry until beans are warm and proscuitto begins to brown, about 5-8 minutes. 

Make the fried onions:

1. Soak onions in milk for 5 minutes. Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions into the bowl with the flour and salt, and toss to coat.

2. Heat oil in a large skillet. Fry onions, working in batches as needed, until evenly browned, about 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with more salt. 

To serve:

1. Place the warm green bean packets on a platter and sprinkle with the fried onions.
