Recipe

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C, no fan.

  2. Brush each sheet of carasau with olive oil on one side only: the other side stays dry to keep it crisp.

  3. Scatter coarse salt (sparingly — carasau amplifies it) and roughly chopped rosemary needles.

  4. Bake 3-5 minutes, until the oil sizzles and the edges turn lightly golden. Do not look away: it burns in seconds.

  5. Break roughly by hand and serve immediately with cured meats and pecorino, or alongside a glass of Vermentino.
