Charcuterie Chips Crispy Snack

# 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

→ Cheese

04 - 3.5 oz sliced hard cheese (e.g., aged cheddar, Manchego, or Parmesan)

05 - 3.5 oz sliced semi-hard cheese (e.g., Gouda or provolone)

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary), finely chopped

07 - Cracked black pepper

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

02 - Place cured meat slices in a single layer on one baking sheet, avoiding overlap.

03 - Place cheese slices in a single layer on the second baking sheet, spacing them to prevent sticking.

04 - Optionally, sprinkle cheese slices with fresh herbs or cracked black pepper for enhanced flavor.

05 - Bake meat slices for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are crisp and slightly browned. Remove and cool completely to allow further crisping.

06 - Bake cheese slices for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and bubbling. Remove and cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then gently lift from parchment.

07 - Arrange cooled meat and cheese chips on a platter and serve immediately as a snack or appetizer.

# Expert Advice:

01 -

They're ridiculously easy to make and feel fancy without any actual fuss.
A single bite tastes like the most flavorful part of every slice of cured meat and cheese.
They're naturally low-carb and gluten-free, so they work for just about anyone at the table.

02 -

Don't skip the separate baking sheets; meat and cheese have completely different baking windows and you'll miss one or ruin the other if you combine them.
The cooling time is essential—chips that seem soft when warm become shatteringly crisp within minutes, so patience here is everything.
