Puff Pastry Sticks Two Ways – Sweet and Savory

February 28, 2012 - Posted in Appetizers, Sweets - 4 Comments

Puff Pastry Sticks I’ve never cooked much with puff pastry until recently. My vegetable pot pies really won me over. Since they were such a success, I’ve been experimenting with store-bought puff pastry more and decided to make a quick sweet and savory snack.

I didn’t specify amounts in my two recipes and just sprinkled the puff pastry strips with different herbs and spices. For the sweet puff pastry sticks I used cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla sugar which was perfect for an afternoon coffee break. For the savory, I used grated emmentaler cheese leftover from my recent spaetzle recipe. These pastry sticks are so quick and easy to make, great for entertaining a crowd if you’re short on time.

Recipe below…

Slice puff pastry into strips and sprinkle with sweet or savory seasonings. Bake for about 15 minutes.

Serve the pastry sticks with your favorite condiments.

Cinnamon Sugar and Cocoa Puff Pastry Sticks Recipe

puff pastry dough, cut into 1/8-inch strips
coconut oil or butter, melted
sugar or vanilla sugar
ground cinnamon, to taste
cocoa powder, to taste

Cheese and Oregano Puff Pastry Sticks Recipe

puff pastry dough, cut into 1/8-inch strips
olive oil
grated emmentaler or parmesan cheese
dried oregano, thyme or rosemary
garlic powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Heat oven to 350°F. Cut pastry dough into thin strips (or preferred shape).

For sweet pastry sticks: Place strips on baking sheet and brush with coconut oil then sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and cocoa powder. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve with apple sauce, ice cream or whipped cream.

For savory pastry sticks: Place strips on baking sheet and brush with olive oil then sprinkle with grated cheese, dried herbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bake for about 10-15 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve with tomato sauce or your favorite dip.

Total Time: 15-20 minutes
Yield: 15-20 sticks (depending on puff pastry size)
