Star Bread Chips 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
- 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 ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare Puff Pastry: Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean, lightly floured surface to prevent it from sticking and to make cutting easier.
- Cut into Star Shapes: Using a star-shaped cookie cutter or any other preferred shape, cut out the puff pastry shapes. If you don’t have a cutter, carefully use a knife to cut shapes.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the star-shaped pastry pieces on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops generously with melted butter to promote browning and flavor.
- Season: Sprinkle garlic powder, dried rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt evenly over each pastry piece. Adjust to taste to enhance the flavor.
- Bake: Bake the shaped and seasoned pastry chips in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to avoid burning.
- Garnish: Remove the baked bread chips from the oven and optionally sprinkle fresh parsley over the top to add color and a fresh herbal note.
- Serve: Serve immediately as a crunchy snack or appetizer, perfect on their own or paired with your favorite dip.
Notes
- Ensure the puff pastry is properly chilled before unrolling to make cutting easier and prevent sticking.
- Customize the seasoning by adding other herbs or spices according to your taste.
- If you prefer, use a different shaped cutter to suit your occasion.
- Watch the chips closely during baking to avoid overcooking or burning as baking times may vary based on oven performance.
- These chips are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain crispiness.
