Roasting Asparagus in advance
I'm making roasted asparagus wrapped in prosciutto for a party. If I prepare them in advance (2 hours before), how best to store them? I worry that if I refrigerate them, the asparagus will turn soggy. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Of course, someone is going to mention the horrific "danger zone" and how you will GET REALLY SICK IF YOU ATE ANYTHING LEFT OUT BEYOND THE DANGER ZONE, despite the fact the much of the world still stores food and eats this way, as did billions of people throughout human history.
After all, we're talking two hours, very little time for you to refrigerate, then get the food back to room temperature.
My two cents, which is worth far less than that on this discussion forum.
Do what you want, but wrap the asparagus with prosciutto shortly before serving.
Good luck.
