Equipment

  • Baking sheet (half-sheet pan)
  • Parchment paper
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Wire rack

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces prosciutto thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
  • Line the baking sheet: Place a sheet of parchment paper on a half-sheet pan to prevent sticking.
  • Arrange the prosciutto: Lay the slices flat on the parchment paper with space between them. It’s easiest to keep the paper strip on each slice while placing, then peel it off once positioned.
  • Bake until crispy: Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 7–9 minutes. Keep a close eye near the end—prosciutto crisps up fast!
  • Cool on a rack: Use tongs to transfer the prosciutto to a wire rack. Let it cool completely—it will finish crisping as it cools.

Notes

  • Thinner slices may be done closer to 7 minutes.
  • Delicious crumbled over soups, pastas, salads, and eggs.
  • Store cooled slices in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
