Baking prosciutto on a parchment-lined sheet renders the fat and crisps the edges, producing a salty, lacy chip perfect for topping salads, soups, or pasta. It also makes an easy snack or garnish for cheese boards, ready in under 15 minutes with no added fat or seasoning needed.

Ingredients

  • 8 thin slices prosciutto
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Lay the prosciutto slices in a single layer on the parchment, making sure they do not overlap.

  3. Sprinkle lightly with black pepper, if desired.

  4. Bake until the prosciutto is deep golden brown and crisp at the edges, 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the prosciutto cool for 2 minutes; it will continue to crisp as it cools.

  6. Use a thin spatula to transfer the crisped prosciutto to a plate or directly onto salads, soups, or pasta.
