Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet to an even thickness, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the surface of the puff pastry evenly with the egg wash.
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly over the surface of the egg-washed pastry.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the pastry into strips about 1/2 inch wide and 6-8 inches long.
Carefully pick up each strip and twist it gently a few times to create a spiral effect. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the straws are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the straws from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
