Ingredients

• 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, melted
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons White sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Black sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Unroll the phyllo dough sheets and keep them covered with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.

Step 3

Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Lightly brush the entire surface with melted butter.

Step 4

Sprinkle a thin, even layer of grated Parmesan cheese over the buttered sheet.

Step 5

Add a sprinkle of both white and black sesame seeds, a small pinch of smoked paprika (if using), and a light dusting of salt.

Step 6

Place another phyllo sheet on top of the first sheet, pressing gently to adhere. Brush the top sheet lightly with butter, but do not add toppings yet.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the layered sheets into thin strips, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. Repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and toppings, creating additional layers as desired.

Step 8

Twist each strip gently to form a spiral shape and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the twisted straws with a final layer of butter and sprinkle with a little more Parmesan and sesame seeds for garnish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the straws are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the phyllo straws warm or at room temperature!
