Ingredients
- 1 roll of vegan puff pastry (chilled)
- 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (liquid gold!)

- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of pepper
- 100g Ilchester Vegan Melting Mature (cheeze dreams!)
- Salsa or dip of choice to serve

With smoky paprika and melty vegan cheeze, your taste buds are in for a sneaky, savory snack attack.

For an added burst of flavor, try incorporating fresh herbs like coriander to enhance the dish’s zest and freshness.
How to Make It
Alright, get ready to roll out some serious snack magic with 1 roll of chilled vegan puff pastry. Lay it out nice and flat on your countertop – think of it as the canvas for your cheesy masterpiece. Grab your trusty brush and slick on a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil all over the pastry, then sprinkle half a teaspoon of smoky paprika like you’re dusting fairy sparkle dust. Don’t forget a pinch of salt and pepper to keep things sassy and seasoned.
Now, here’s where the star shines: finely grate 100g of Ilchester Vegan Melting Mature cheeze all over that oily, paprika-kissed dough. It’s like a cheesy snowstorm ready to melt into gooey goodness.
To really get that melty magic happening, slap a sheet of baking paper or clingfilm on top of your cheesy puff pastry and gently press down with your hands – this little trick helps the cheeze cozy up into the dough instead of just lounging on top like a lazy vegan cat. Peel off your top layer, then take a sharp knife and slice the pastry into 9 to 12 strips (horizontal is the way to go).
Give those strips a fun little twist—because who doesn’t love a playful twist in life? Pop them onto a baking tray with some space to breathe (they’re going to puff up and get all gorgeous). Slide that tray into your preheated oven at 180°C and let the magic happen.
Soon you’ll have crispy, melty, paprika-kissed vegan cheeze sticks that might just disappear before you can say “plant-powered snack attack.” Serve with your favorite salsa or dip, and enjoy the gooey, golden goodness! For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding herbs like sage which pair wonderfully with plant-based dishes.
