1 year ago

These puff pastry sticks are perfect to enjoy with a bowl of soup,

a salad or as an appetizer with or without a dip

They are easy to make too,

with puff pastry and seasonings you probably already have

in your pantry and fridge

First flour the work surface so that the pastry doesn’t stick to the board

Sprinkle the flour with Parmesan cheese,

Italian seasoning, {add garlic powder too if you like}

black sesame seeds and sea salt

evenly over the flour

Lay a thawed puff pastry sheet on top of the seasonings

Repeat the sprinkling process on the top of the dough

and very gently roll the dough to help the seasonings adhere,

but not hard enough for the dough to stick to the board

Now cut this into about 12 strips, using a pastry wheel or a knife

Okay now take each strip and gently twist and lay them out

on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat baking mat

Bake in a 400 degree F oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown
