Sticks Part 2

Parmesan Crisp Sticks

50g grated Parmesan cheese, in crumbs (for ease, I used a pre packed fresh grated parmesan - but freshly grated, slightly dry is fine)

25g fresh Ciabatta breadcrumbs, very fine

1 x15mlsp (1Tbsp) seasoning of your choice – Cumin seeds; Mustard seeds; Poppy seeds; Sesame seeds, if desired

12 flat wooden "lollysticks" or stirrers

How to:

Preheat oven to 180 C; 350 F; Gas 5. Grease and line a flat baking tray (using greaseproof paper or ideally baking parchment)
Combine the cheese, breadcrumbs and any seasoning.
Place 6 sticks on the baking sheet, spoon 1x15mlsp (1Tbsp) of the mixture over the top of each stick, press mixture down ensuring an even thickness. Bake 6 sticks at a time in the preheated oven. Ovens vary, so I suggest you try for 6 minutes, and if not brown continue for another minute or so. Remove from oven and immediately dislodge each stick carefully by sliding a palette knife under each piece.

Repeat with the remaining mixture and sticks.

Serve immediately, but will keep for 24 hours in an airtight tin.

.....Of course you can do without the sticks for just "crisps"..and try experimenting with different seasonings
