Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean, lightly floured surface to keep it from sticking and facilitate cutting.
- Cut into Star Shapes: Using a star-shaped cookie cutter or a knife, cut the puff pastry into star shapes or your preferred shapes to create individual chips.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the cut pastry shapes on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each piece thoroughly with melted butter to enhance flavor and promote browning.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt evenly over the butter-coated pastry pieces to add savory flavor and aroma. Adjust to taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Garnish: Once baked, remove the bread chips from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a fresh, colorful touch if desired.
- Serve: Serve the star bread chips immediately, either plain or with your favorite dips, as a delightful snack or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- If you don’t have a star-shaped cutter, any other shape or a simple knife cut will work perfectly.
- Make sure not to overbake to maintain a crispy texture without burning.
- Serve warm for the best taste and crunch.
