Total Time: 20 minutes

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1 sheet vegan puff pastry
  • ¾ cup (75 g) grated vegan cheese
  • ¼ tsp nigella seeds
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tsp nutritional yeast
  • salt & pepper

 

Method:

    • Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    • On a flour dusted board or surface, cut the sheet of puff pastry in half and brush one side with water or non-dairy milk.
    • Top the brushed half of the pastry with the grated vegan cheese. Firm down the cheese by rolling over it with a flour-dusted rolling pin.
    • Place the other half sheet of puff pastry on top. With the dusted rolling pin, firm the two sheets together.
    • Brush the top with water or non-dairy milk. Evenly sprinkle on the sesame and nigella seeds. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle on the nutritional yeast.
    • Firm down the toppings a final time with the rolling pin. Then cut the the rectangle into long strips about 1cm wide with a pizza wheel or sharp knife.
    • Twist the straws and set them down on a lined baking sheet with space between them to allow for puffing up.
    • Bake the cheese straws for 12-15 minutes at 200°C (390°F) until golden brown. To keep them crisp, let them cool down on a wire rack
