Ingredients
- 1 frozen puff pastry sheet, thawed
- 1 egg white, beaten
- 1/4 cup finely chopped pistachios
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons Romano cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Unfold pastry. Roll into a 12-inch square on a lightly floured surface.
Brush pastry with egg white. Sprinkle with pistachios and paprika. Fold in half, pressing edges to seal. Brush with remaining egg white. Sprinkle with Romano.
Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Twist strips and arrange on a baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Secret Tip
Many supermarkets have two areas stocked with nuts-baking supplies and snacks. Pecans and walnuts are typically stocked in both places, whereas pistachios are generally only stocked with nuts for snacking.
