Bay Bones

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

1 package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or spritz lightly with cooking spray.

In a small bowl, combine the parmesan with the Old Bay seasoning.

On a lightly floured surface, unfold 1 sheet of the puff pastry. Very lightly moisten the surface of the pastry with water. Sprinkle half the parmesan mixture over it. Using a pizza wheel or a sharp knife, cut the dough into ½-inch strips. One at a time, grab each strip by its ends and twist once or twice to create a spiral. Arrange the strips on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about ½ inch between them.

Repeat the process with the second sheet of pastry and remaining parmesan mixture. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Serves 12.
