Ingredients
4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto di San Daniele (about 5 slices)
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon allspice
Pinch cayenne
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the prosciutto slices on the parchment without touching.
- In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, allspice and cayenne.
- Brush each slice of prosciutto with some olive oil and sprinkle with the spice mix.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake until the ham is beginning to crisp and the sugar is caramelized, 16 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer the slices to a cooling rack to cool completely. Blot with a paper towel if beads of oil form.
