Prosciutto Crisps

prosciuttocrisps Prosciutto crisps baked in the oven are a great high-protein snack chip. They’re delicious crumbled over pasta, salads or vegetables.

12 pieces thinly-sliced prosciutto

Heat oven to 400°F (200°C/180°C fan, Gas Mark 6) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay the prosciutto slices on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper so that they don’t overlap, curling the edges like a nest so they don’t get too brown.

Bake until the slices start to shrivel and turn golden, 9-12 minutes. Keep your eye on it, as the prosciutto can go from crisp to burned quickly.

Cool on a rack (they will crisp up as they cool). Break into large pieces or crumbles to sprinkle over whatever you like.

Cook’s Notes:

Prosciutto chips will keep for weeks in a covered container in the fridge.
Gently heat in a skillet for a few minutes over medium heat to re-crisp.
