Ingredients
Scale
Pastry
- 1 sheet of puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
Seasoning & Topping
- 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 sticking and make it easier to cut.
- Cut into Star Shapes: Use a star-shaped cookie cutter or a knife to cut the puff pastry into star shapes or any desired shapes, placing the pieces close but not touching.
- Brush with Butter: Arrange the cut pieces on the prepared baking sheet and brush each star generously with melted butter to enhance browning and flavor.
- Season: Evenly sprinkle garlic powder, dried rosemary, grated Parmesan cheese, and salt over the stars to add savory flavor and aroma. Adjust seasonings according to your preference.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the chips are puffed, golden, and crispy. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Garnish: Remove chips from the oven and immediately sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for color and a fresh herbal note, if desired.
- Serve: Serve the star bread chips warm or at room temperature as a delicious snack or appetizer alongside your favorite dips or enjoy them on their own.
Notes
- You can use any shape cutter besides stars to customize the look of your chips.
- For extra flavor, experiment with different herbs such as thyme or oregano.
- Ensure the puff pastry is well chilled before cutting for cleaner shapes.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crispy for up to 2 days.
- These chips pair well with dips like marinara, hummus, or a creamy cheese dip.
