Description

Crispy Rosemary Parmesan Cheese Straws are a crunchy, savory snack combining flaky puff pastry with the herbal brightness of fresh rosemary and the rich flavor of aged Parmesan cheese. Perfect for parties, quick nibble moments, or paired with dips, these easy-to-make cheese straws bake to golden perfection delivering irresistible crispness in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Cheese

  • Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (usually 2 sheets, thawed)
  • 1 cup grated Aged Parmesan Cheese

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped Fresh Rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sea Salt (plus extra for sprinkling)

Other

  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets according to package instructions until pliable but still cold to ensure easier rolling and crispier layers after baking.
  2. Add the Flavorings: Lightly brush the surface of each pastry sheet with egg wash to help toppings adhere. Evenly sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped fresh rosemary, and a pinch of sea salt over the surface.
  3. Shape the Straws: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the pastry into thin strips approximately 1/2 inch wide. Twist each strip gently several times into a spiral shape to enhance crunch after baking.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Arrange the twisted straws on a parchment-lined baking tray, spacing them out to allow for expansion. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the straws cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Cooling helps them firm up and maximizes crunch with every bite.

Notes

  • Keep the puff pastry cold until ready to bake to ensure better puff and crispiness.
  • Use fresh rosemary for a more vibrant and aromatic flavor rather than dried.
  • Do not overload with toppings to prevent sogginess; a light sprinkle works best.
  • Cut the pastry strips evenly for uniform baking and consistent crunch.
  • Twist the strips gently to avoid tearing them, preserving flakiness.
