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