Ingredients
- 8 slices Ham (thick slices)
- 4 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Take the thick ham slices and cut them into long, even strips, about 1 inch wide, to create 'sticks'.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the honey, olive oil, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Brush each ham stick generously with the honey mixture, making sure all sides are coated evenly.
Step 5
Arrange the ham sticks in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don't overlap.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the ham turns slightly crispy and caramelized.
Step 7
Turn the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes for extra crispiness, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the ham sticks from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme for a touch of freshness and aroma.
Step 10
Serve warm as a tasty appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
