Keto Prosciutto Skewers

These Keto Prosciutto Skewers are going to become your go-to party appetizer! I’ve got two different types for you here- one variety brings out the sweetness of the prosciutto, while the other highlights the saltiness. Serve both of these Keto Skewers together for the perfect combination of salty and sweet!

The flavors of these lunch kebobs are very different- there’s a strong blackberry flavor to the first and the perfect caprese flavor the second. You really can’t go wrong with either- they’re both completely delicious! These recipes really highlight the delightful simplicity of the flavors and lets them shine. There’s nothing overpowering to these light skewers- just perfectly complimentary flavors and textures.

I love these skewers because you don’t have to heat them up- they’re perfect for a charcuterie board, cocktail hour, brunches, bridal showers- really any occasion. These skewers look very impressive while requiring very little effort, so they’re great for entertaining. They also travel easily, so you could bring them to a potluck, game night or for a fun beach day!
