Garlic and Parmesan Breadsticks


I wanted a quick snack to have with my movie and beer and I found some puff pastry in my freezer so ta-da, breadsticks! haha. I served mine with a marinara dipping sauce to give it extra flavor.

Puff pastry is awesome and really good to have on hand because it's really versatile. You can do anything from cover a nice french onion soup to create a shell for a delicious sweet filling. I suggest buying the sheets if you can find them because you can make them into any shapes.

Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
2 tbs grated parmesan cheese
1 tbs melted butter
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano

Directions:

1. preheat oven to 400 and cover a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2. Place thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If there are any cracks in dough, pinch together so it sticks.

3. Brush entire top of sheet with the melted butter.

4. Sprinkle cheese, garlic powder and oregano on puff pastry. Also sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top.

5. Cut into strips about 1 inch wide. If you want a fancy touch you can twist the dough and place it on the sheet pan for a nice look. Otherwise just place them straight onto baking sheet.

6. Bake breadsticks for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

7. While baking, heat a dipping sauce like marinara.

8. Remove breadsticks from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes and then ENJOY!
