Crispy Prosciutto Snacks (Paleo)


Did you ever make a great discovery in the kitchen, forget all about it, and then rediscover it later on? This happens to me sometimes, since I don't repeat many recipes, but I still gravitate toward the same flavors and types of food (I'm looking at you, brunch.)

That's totally what happened to me here. Almost 2 years ago (uh, where did the time go?), I posted up a great brunch recipe for a spinach cheddar strata with crispy ham, raved about the ham and its salty, crispy goodness, and promptly forgot all about it.

Well, welcome to the party, crispy prosciutto! You are crispy ham's cooler, more sophisticated older brother. A delicious (paleo-friendly) snack that doesn't take 100 years to make. (You've definitely got bacon beat there.) Pair it with some sliced avocado, maybe some melon when it's in season.. heck, grab some fancy cheese and get crazy.

New favorite!

Ingredients

  • a few slices of prosciutto, ham, or other thin-sliced deli meat
  • cracked black pepper, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika or other spice of your choice (optional) *Note- don't add any more salt- prosciutto is naturally very salty already.*
Directions
  1. Preheat your broiler. Add a bit of butter, oil or cooking spray to a baking pan. Line the pan with slices of prosciutto in a single layer and add spices, if using.
  2. Broil the slices for 3-5 minutes, watching them closely so they don't burn. Let cool and enjoy.
