Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional, for brushing)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (for sweet version)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (for sweet version)
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for savory version)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder (for savory version)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Unroll or unfold the puff pastry sheets and gently roll them out slightly with a rolling pin to even the thickness.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice each puff pastry sheet into strips approximately 1 inch wide and 6 inches long.
Take one strip at a time and tie it into a simple knot. Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each.
If making the sweet version, melt the butter and brush it lightly onto the knots. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the knots.
If making the savory version, lightly brush the knots with melted butter and sprinkle them with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
Bake the knots in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the knots cool slightly. For the savory version, garnish with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, appetizer, or complementary side.
