Looking for an addition to your charcuterie board? A great make-ahead extra for your bbq? Or just a fun finger food for a Shabbos meal? Salami Chips.
Did you make and love the beef jerky? Now I’ve got an even more versatile recipe of that will be the next big hit. Ready to make some salami chips?
- 1 2 lb salami (or use a 1 lb salami and freeze half the marinade)
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1-2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons pastrami spice mix (optional. Often found at fish stores.)
- Cut the salami in thin slices. The thinner the slices, the crispier the chips will be.
- Place a Ziploc bag over a 2-pound container. Add all ingredients, then add salami and smush it around well.
- Marinate for 3-6 hours.
- Preheat oven to 250ºF.
- Line a baking sheet very well with foil. Spray the pan very well. Lay the pieces of meat flat on the baking sheets (each pan will fit about one pound but you might need a third sheet for the last few pieces). The pieces of meat can touch but they should not overlap.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then flip and bake for another 30-45 minutes (depending on the thickness of your slices).

Does it need to be refrigerated when it’s done?
It’s ok if it stays out of the fridge just for 1 nite. Make sure to cover it well. After that I Wd put it in the fridge. Make sure to take it out 30 minutes before serving.
Same question please
See previous answer …. enjoy
Hi! Can I make it without the pastrami spice and without the hot sauce ? And what can I substitute them with?
You can definitely make it without those 2 ingredients. U can substitute sriracha for the hot sauce. No need to replace the pastrami spice Enjoy !
What’s liquid smoke?
Is blackened spice the same as pastrami spice?
Hi, can I use kielbasa for this?
Hi what’s liquid smoke?
A spice
It just adds a little smokiness to your dishes. I use it in my baked beans for one. It’s usually found in the spice aisle but sometimes in with the Tabasco, Buffalo sauce etc. It’s a small bottle
Wow just perfect for a meatboard
Can I make these salami chips in a dehydrator
can you freeze it after backing?
baking
Is it better to bake on a wire rack?
There’s a big mistake in the recipe, be careful because I ruined all my chips. The pastrami spice is supposed to be 2 teaspoons, not tablespoons. It didn’t make sense, the spice was like mud on the salami, and afterwards I found the exact same recipe on another kosher website just their version said 2 teaspoons.
How long does this last in the fridge?
Should definitely be good a week, however you can freeze it for months.
