Ingredients

8 slices Prosciutto

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch the fat drippings and to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they do not overlap.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.

Step 5

Bake the prosciutto for 8-10 minutes, or until the slices are crisp and slightly darkened but not burnt.

Step 6

Keep a close watch during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning, as prosciutto can go from perfect to overdone quickly.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and transfer the crispy prosciutto slices to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess fat and help maintain their crispiness.

Step 8

Allow the prosciutto to cool for a few minutes; they will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a topping on salads, pasta, or enjoy them as a crispy snack.
