Season it upThis variation is self-seasoned
Steps
- 01Sprinkle the work surface with half the parmesan and herbs.
- 02Place the pastry on top and sprinkle the rest of the parmesan, herbs, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes on top.
- 03Roll lightly to press the cheese in.
- 04Fold, cut, and shape per the base palmier recipe (fold sides to center, fold in half, slice into rounds).
- 05Ready for the air fryer, cut-side up.
Parmesan replaces sugar for a savory version that works as an appetizer or a wine pairing snack instead of a dessert. The cheese melts into the pastry layers and creates golden, cheesy, crispy twists. The Italian herbs make these taste like a fancy breadstick in palmier form.
