Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Prosciutto
- 1 can Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Arrange the prosciutto slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Lightly spray the prosciutto slices with olive oil cooking spray to help them crisp up without the need for additional fat.
Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper over the top to enhance flavor without added salt.
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.
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.
Once cooled, carefully transfer the crispy prosciutto to a serving platter or use as a crunchy topping for salads and pastas.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
