Instructions

  • First up preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius if you got a fan oven or 220 otherwise. You gotta get that heat ready for the twists.
  • Roll out that chilled puff pastry on a lightly floured surface so it don’t stick to your counter or rolling pin. Keep it even and smooth.
  • Spread the pesto evenly across the pastry sheet. Don’t be shy, cover it good so every bite is tasty.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese all over the pesto. Make sure you get a nice even layer.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut your pastry into strips about 2.5 centimeters wide. You want these just right for twisting.
  • Twist each strip several times and lay ’em side by side on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can feel the excitement building now.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes or until the twists are golden brown and puffed up nice. Let ’em cool a bit before diving in.
