Ingredients

• 8 slices Prosciutto
• 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.

Step 3

Lightly spray the prosciutto slices with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up without the need for additional fat.

Step 4

Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the top to enhance flavor without added salt.

Step 5

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crisp and lightly golden. Watch them carefully to avoid burning.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and let the prosciutto slices cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

Step 7

Once cooled, carefully transfer the crispy prosciutto to a serving platter or use as a crunchy topping for salads and pastas.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
