# What You Need:

→ Cured Meats

01 - 3.5 oz thinly sliced salami
02 - 3.5 oz thinly sliced prosciutto
03 - 3.5 oz thinly sliced pepperoni

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Place cured meat slices in a single layer on one baking sheet, ensuring no overlap.
03 - Place cheese slices in a single layer on the second baking sheet, spacing evenly to avoid sticking.
04 - Optionally, sprinkle cheese slices with chopped fresh herbs or cracked black pepper.
05 - Bake meat slices for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are crisp and slightly browned, then remove and cool completely to crisp further.
06 - Bake cheese slices for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and bubbling, remove, cool for 5 minutes, then gently lift from parchment.
07 - Arrange cooled cured meat and cheese chips on a platter and serve immediately.

# Insider Tips:

01 -
  • They're crispy, salty, and feel indulgent but genuinely low-carb so you can actually enjoy them without guilt.
  • Prep takes ten minutes and most of the work is just letting your oven do the magic while you pour a drink.
  • People at parties always ask what they are because they look so much fancier than they actually taste.
02 -
  • Overlap is the enemy—even a tiny bit will cause steam pockets and you'll end up with chewy disappointments instead of shattering crisps.
  • Don't bake them together because cheese needs way less time than meat, and they cool at different rates so they'd never be ready at the same time anyway.
03 -
  • Ask your butcher to slice everything paper-thin—they have the equipment and the technique, and it makes a real difference in the final product.
  • If you want to get fancy, sprinkle a tiny pinch of smoked paprika or a whisper of fleur de sel on the cheese before baking for a flavor twist that feels intentional.
