And if you’d like more low carb options, I’ve got a bunch of delicious low carb recipes that’ll keep you satisfied while keeping your carb intake in check.

Ingredients

You’ll only need one ingredient: Salami!

Today I have Genoa salami from Boar’s Head. Boar’s Head is gluten free. You can go with your favorite salami, just make sure it’s gluten free.

Aim for thin, uniform slices—about 1/16 to 1/8 inch thick—for even baking and a satisfying crunch.

Set the oven rack in the middle of the oven. Then preheat your oven to 425℉. 

Now place six salami slices on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to keep salami from sticking and make cleanup easier. Allow for space between the slices.

Pro tip: When I want to make a bigger batch, I use my humongous baking sheet so I can fit more slices!

Bake for 5 minutes. 

Then flip them over and bake for another 4-5 minutes.

Once they’re golden-browned around the edges, place the slices on a paper towel-lined plate and let them cool for 10 minutes. While they might remain quite pliable when taken out of the pan, they’ll become crisp as they continue to cool.

Since ovens vary, monitor the salami closely to prevent burning.

Serving suggestions

Enjoy your chips plain or pair them with your favorite dips, such as mustard, aioli, or cream cheese.

And these oven-baked salami crisps make a fantastic addition to charcuterie boards or even a Charcuterie Table!

Pair them with cheeses such as Mozzarella Wrapped In Prosciutto and dips such as Game Day Chili Dip, easy mouthwatering Caramelized Onion Dip or delicious Homemade Salsa for a delicious spread.

Pro tips and recipe notes

Is it possible to add a cheese topping? Absolutely! Salami and cheese make a fantastic pair. To ensure a perfect melt, I recommend placing shredded cheese (I have tried aged cheddar cheese) on each salami slice and bake for approximately 3-4 minutes. Delicious results guaranteed!

Can I add seasoning to the salami before baking? Absolutely! Experiment with your favorite seasonings like black pepper, garlic powder, or paprika for extra flavor.

Can I make these ahead of time? Yes, prepare them in advance and store in an airtight container. Reheat briefly in the oven for optimum crispiness.

Can I use different meats for crisps besides salami? Absolutely! Experiment with other cured meats like pepperoni or chorizo for unique and tasty variations.

This recipe not only caters to your low carb needs but also introduces a snack that’s quick, easy, and undeniably delicious. And they would make a simple oven-baked salami snack for parties.

Happy snacking!
