Ingredients
For Salad
- 10 slices prosciutto
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400º.
- Gently pull up the first piece of waxed paper behind with the top piece of prosciutto. You want to make sure the second piece isn't sticking to the top piece of paper.
- Once you have a clean whole piece, place one piece of prosciutto face down on the baking sheet with the paper on top. Place on hand on the prosciutto and using the other hand, carefully peel off the paper to reveal the whole piece of ham. Repeat with the remaining pieces making sure to not crowd the pan. You can probably fit 3-6 pieces on a single pan, depending on the size of your sheet pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until crisp, watching it at the 8 min mark.10 slices prosciutto

Notes
Make ahead instructions:
You can prepare the prosciutto earlier in the day. Cool completely before placing on a piece of plastic and carefully wrapping. If the prosciutto softens, you can quickly crisp it up in the oven for a couple of minutes.
