Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Unfold the puff pastry sheets and place them on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll each sheet to smooth out any creases.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush a thin layer of the egg wash over the surface of the puff pastry sheets.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the pastry sheets, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Add a light sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the Parmesan for extra flavor.
Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the pastry sheets into approximately 1-inch-wide strips. Then, cut the strips in half to create shorter pieces.
Twist each strip gently and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Leave some space between the twists to allow for puffing.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
While the puffs are baking, warm the marinara sauce in a small saucepan or in the microwave.
Remove the Parmesan puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve the Parmesan puffs warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
