- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry [see note]
- 2 egg whites
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp. chipotle chili powder
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Grease cookie sheet well.
Unfold puff pastry and thaw at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or until pliable. Cut into 3 [about 10 in. long strips]. Cut each strip into 10 smaller strips, about 3 in. long, 3 in. wide.
Beat egg whites in a bowl. On a plate, stir together cheese, chili powder, and garlic powder. Dip each puff pastry strip into egg white, then into the cheese mixture to lightly coat.
Make one twist in each strip and place on cookie sheet.
Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool.
NOTE: You’ll find frozen puff pastry in packages weighing about 17 ounces with two sheets per package. Use one sheet and return the second to the freezer.
