Spiced parmesan palmiers

Spiced Parmesan Palmiers are a delightful and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that combines the buttery, flaky layers of puff pastry with a savory blend of spices and cheese. Perfect for parties or an indulgent treat anytime, these palmiers are sure to impress with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

1/2 tsp black pepper
1g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
14g
1 tsp paprika
5g
1 dash salt
1g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Mix the Spices:
In a small bowl, combine the black pepper, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, and salt. Mix them together until well blended.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Unroll the sheet of puff pastry on a clean, flat surface. If the pastry is too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it's pliable but still chilled.
4. Brush with Olive Oil:
Lightly brush the puff pastry sheet with olive oil using a pastry brush. This will help the spice mixture adhere to the dough.
5. Sprinkle the Spice Mixture:
Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over the entire surface of the puff pastry. Make sure to cover every corner for a consistent flavor in each palmier.
6. Fold the Pastry:
To create the palmier shape, start by folding the long sides of the pastry towards the center. Fold each side again towards the center until both sides meet in the middle. You should end up with a long, narrow piece of dough with multiple layers.
7. Chill the Dough:
Place the folded dough in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes. This will make it easier to slice and will help maintain the shape while baking.
8. Slice the Palmiers:
After chilling, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Cut the dough into 1/4-inch (about 0.6 cm) wide slices.
9. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place the slices cut side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) apart.
10. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the palmiers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
11. Cool and Serve:
Allow the palmiers to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure your puff pastry is cold before you start working with it; if it becomes too warm, it can become difficult to handle.

- Roll the puff pastry evenly to ensure consistent cooking throughout the palmiers.

- For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the spice mix.

- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry into even slices to ensure they bake evenly.

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

After baking these Spiced Parmesan Palmiers, you're left with a deliciously crisp, flavorful pastry that’s perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them warm from the oven or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with dips or can be enjoyed on their own as a tasty snack.
