Ingredients
Scale
Star Bread Chips
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean, lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking while you work with it.
- Cut into Star Shapes: Using a star-shaped cookie cutter, carefully cut the puff pastry into star shapes. If you don’t have a cookie cutter, use a knife to cut into shapes you prefer.
- Brush with Butter: Place the star-shaped pastry pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each one generously with melted butter to add flavor and help the seasonings stick.
- Season: Sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, dried rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt. Adjust seasonings to your taste preferences.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy. Watch closely towards the end to avoid over-baking.
- Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness, if desired.
- Serve: Serve your star bread chips immediately as a snack or appetizer, paired with your favorite dip or enjoyed on their own.
Notes
- For best results, use cold puff pastry to ensure flakiness.
- You can substitute dried rosemary with other herbs like thyme or oregano based on preference.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory touch.
- To store leftovers, keep chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; re-crisp in an oven before serving.
- Feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as smoked paprika or chili flakes for different flavor profiles.
