  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan oven, 400°F, gas mark 6).
  2. Roll pastry into a rectangle (approx 41cm x 26cm/16in x 10in). Brush with a little egg and sprinkle spices and Parmesan evenly over the surface.
  3. Fold pastry in half towards you, press lightly with the rolling pin and trim edges. Brush with the remaining egg, cut into straws (1cm/½ in thick). Pick up each straw and twist in opposite directions.
  4. Bake on a greased baking sheet for 12-15 mins until golden brown, then cool on a wire rack.
Top Tip for making Spicy puff pastry straws
