🍳 Instructions:
1. Prepare the Zucchini:
-
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This prevents the twists from becoming soggy.
2. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
3. Prepare the Puff Pastry:
-
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it’s smooth and even.
-
Brush a thin layer of olive oil on the pastry. This will add flavor and help achieve a golden crisp.
4. Add the Filling:
-
Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheese, grated zucchini, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper over the puff pastry. Be sure to distribute the zucchini and cheese evenly across the entire surface.
5. Shape the Twists:
-
Fold the puff pastry in half (like a book), covering the filling.
-
Cut the pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip gently to form a spiral or twirled shape.
6. Egg Wash (Optional):
-
For a golden, glossy finish, beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the twists before baking.
7. Bake:
-
Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up.
8. Serve:
-
Allow the twists to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
-
Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
