    These crispy and savory prosciutto slices couldn't be easier to make in the oven. They're delicious with a salty crunch, and they make a great high-protein snack.

    Taking papery thin and fatty prosciutto crudo and baking it in the oven transforms it into a salty, crispy snack. The flavor intensifies as it bakes, and it's a great way to make a lot at once.

    These prosciutto chips are perfect to top on a salad, like this arugula spinach salad, or to on pasta dishes like this lemon garlic pasta. It's also delicious included on an Italian antipasto platter, this grinder sandwich, or on this burrata and prosciutto salad.

    It's also great with whipped ricotta on a piece of toast drizzled with olive oil, or with this tuna mousse appetizer. It's also delicious with vegetables like green beans or a side salad.

    ❤️Why we love this recipe

    • Quick and easy recipe - You only need a baking sheet, parchment paper, and a cooling rack to make these crispy snacks. They bake for 10-15 minutes in the oven, then, let them cool completely before enjoying!
    • No mess - No need to worry about heating up any frying pans, grease flying everywhere, or major shrinkage in the prosciutto. Baking makes everything seamless without mess or any excess oil.
    • Easy to make large batches - Another benefit to baking prosciutto in the oven is that you can make a lot at once.

    🐖Ingredients

    All you need is one ingredient.

    • Prosciutto - You can find it at nearly any grocery store. If you can, get prosciutto di parma, which is the best type of all, and has a very intense and rich flavor.

    Visit the recipe card for the full quantities and nutritional information.

    ✨Substitutions & variations

    Here are a few suggestions on additional flavors to try.

    • Spicy - Add Calabrian chilis, cayenne pepper, or red pepper flakes.
    • Herbed - Herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary, thyme, or parsley, or a blend of these herbs would make a great addition to the flavor.
    • Garlic flavored - If desired, you can add some freshly minced garlic cloves or garlic powder to add some tasty flavor.
    • You can also swap prosciutto crudo for prosciutto cotto, which is a cooked version of regular prosciutto and it has a less intense flavor.

    🔪Prep work

    • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    • Add parchment paper to a baking sheet.

    📋Instructions

    Cool completely on a cooling rack for 10-15 minutes. This will also help the prosciutto become crispier. (Image 3)

    ✨Top tips

    • Keep a close on the prosciutto. Since it's so thin, it can become overcooked or burnt very easily.
    • Leave room between the prosciutto slices. Overcrowding the sheet pan won't allow for the prosciutto to get crispy.
    • All the prosciutto to cool completely. This will ensure it becomes crispy.
