Method

1

Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

Combine oil and garlic in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add bread, onion, lemon zest, pine nuts, prosciutto and oregano. Toss to combine. Divide between prepared trays. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, or until bread is golden and crisp.

Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly.
