How to Make Baby Greens With Hazelnut Parmesan Crisps

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup toasted, roughly chopped hazelnuts.
  3. Drop 12 rounded tablespoons of the Parmesan mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 3 inches between each spoonful.
  4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
  5. Remove from oven and let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet.
  6. While the crisps are baking, whisk together 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon maple syrup in a small bowl.
  7. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. In a large bowl, gently toss 5 oz of baby spinach or spring mix with the lemon vinaigrette.
  9. Divide the salad among individual plates.
  10. To make prosciutto roses: Gently coil each of the 4 prosciutto slices into a rose shape.
  11. Place one prosciutto rose in the center of each salad mound.
  12. Garnish each serving with two parmesan crisps.
