Title: Parmesan Witches Broomsticks
Ingredients:
– 12 thin pretzel rods
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed in the cheese.
3. Pour the olive oil into a separate small bowl.
4. Take a pretzel rod and brush it generously with the olive oil using a pastry brush. Make sure to cover the entire surface of the pretzel.
5. Roll the oiled pretzel rod in the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to help the cheese adhere to the pretzel. Ensure that the pretzel is coated thoroughly with the cheese mixture.
6. Carefully place the coated pretzel rod on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining pretzel rods.
7. Bake the Parmesan Witches Broomsticks in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and just beginning to turn golden brown.
8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the broomsticks cool for a few minutes before serving.
9. Arrange the broomsticks on a serving platter and watch them disappear in no time!
