Parmesan & paprika twists are a delicious and savory snack that makes for a great appetizer or party treat. These crispy twists are seasoned with Parmesan cheese, paprika, and a hint of salt, making them irresistibly flavorful. Follow this recipe to create your own batch of these tasty twists at home.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and milk until well combined. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and salt. If you are using paprika, add it to the mixture as well.
Slowly pour in the olive oil and water, stirring continuously until the mixture forms a dough.
- Note: If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more Parmesan cheese; if it is too dry, add a tiny bit more water.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into strips approximately 1/2 inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
Take each strip and twist it gently to form a spiral shape. Place the twisted strips onto the prepared baking sheet.
Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the top of each twist with the egg wash. This will give the twists a beautiful golden color and help them become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are golden brown and crisp.
Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Be sure to preheat your oven to the optimal temperature to ensure the twists bake evenly and become perfectly crispy.
- Handle the dough with care to avoid overworking it, which can result in a tougher texture.
- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the seasoning mix.
- Brush the twists with a bit of egg wash before baking to achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
- If you like, sprinkle some additional grated Parmesan on top of the twists before baking.
By following these steps, you can easily whip up a batch of Parmesan & paprika twists that are sure to impress your guests. Enjoy them as a standalone snack or pair them with your favorite dips for an extra burst of flavor. Happy cooking!
