Charcuterie Chips Savory Snack (Printable Version)

Savory, crispy charcuterie and cheese chips baked to golden perfection for a tasty, low-carb snack.

# What You'll 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 (aged cheddar, Manchego, or Parmesan)
05 - 3.5 oz sliced semi-hard cheese (Gouda or provolone)

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - Fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary), finely chopped
07 - Cracked black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - Place cured meat slices on one baking sheet in a single layer without overlapping.
03 - Place cheese slices on the second baking sheet spaced apart to prevent sticking.
04 - Optionally sprinkle cheese slices with fresh herbs or cracked black pepper.
05 - Bake cured meats for 8 to 10 minutes until edges are crisp and lightly browned. Remove and cool completely to allow further crisping.
06 - Bake cheese slices for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and bubbling. Remove, cool for 5 minutes, then gently lift chips from parchment.
07 - Arrange cooled meat and cheese chips on a platter. Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ready in under 25 minutes, so you can serve them while your guests are still taking off their coats.
  • No flour, no bread, no carbs to apologize for—just pure savory satisfaction.
  • The contrast between crispy meat and melted cheese edges is honestly addictive in the best way.
02 -
  • Overlap is the enemy—slices need breathing room or they'll steam instead of crisp, and you'll end up with chewy disappointment.
  • Cheese browns faster than you'd think, so set a timer and don't trust your gut timing on the first try.
03 -
  • Use a metal spatula to lift cheese chips—silicone will drag and tear them before they've fully cooled and set.
  • Buy your meats and cheeses from a counter where they can slice to order; a few millimeters difference changes how they bake.
