Ingredients

• 1 package (2 sheets) puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup (grated) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (for dusting) all-purpose flour
• 1 large (beaten) egg
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons (freshly ground) black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to make them slightly thinner.

Step 3

Brush one sheet of puff pastry evenly with the beaten egg to help the filling stick.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the cheese mixture evenly over the egg-washed side of the puff pastry.

Step 6

Place the second sheet of puff pastry directly on top of the first, pressing gently to seal. Brush the top layer with more beaten egg.

Step 7

Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to slice the stacked puff pastry into 1-inch wide strips.

Step 8

Twist each strip gently but firmly several times and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
