Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius).
Unfold the puff pastry and roll it out thin (if not using ready-rolled).
Brush it with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, Parmesan powder and rosemary. Press it down lightly with a rolling pin.
Cut it into thin slices (0.5-inch/1.5-centimetre). Mine were 8-inch/20-centimetre long, but you can cut them into any length you like. Transfer them onto a baking sheet lined with baking parchment, leaving small gaps between them.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius) for 8 minutes or until puffed and golden brown (see note 5).
Enjoy!
Notes
Fresh pastry can also be used.
Extra virgin olive oil can be substituted with regular olive oil. I don’t recommend using another type of oil. You might need less/more oil – you want to cover the whole surface of the pastry.
Parmesan can be substituted with Grana Padano or Pecorino. If you use pecorino, you can omit the salt completely, as the cheese is quite salty.
The number of sticks will vary. This will depend on how large your pastry is as well as how thin you cut the sticks.
When making these for the first time, I recommend keeping an eye on them as the baking time may vary from oven to oven/puff pastry to puff pastry. They should all be puffed and golden brown on top. Bake them less rather than more to avoid overcooking.
