Main Ingredients:

Instructions

Prepare the Salami:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Slice the Salami: Cut the beef or turkey salami into ¼-inch thick rounds. Arrange them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

Season and Bake:

  1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, olive oil, smoked paprika, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  2. Coat the Salami: Brush the glaze over the salami slices, ensuring an even coating.
  3. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. Flip and Continue Baking: Flip the slices over, brush with more glaze, and bake for another 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and caramelized.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Cool Slightly: Let the baked salami rest for a few minutes before serving.
  2. Serve with Dips: Arrange on a serving platter with mustard, spicy ketchup, or barbecue sauce. Pair with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or pita chips.
