Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry and slice into strips about 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, chopped spinach, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Take a pastry strip, place a spoonful of the cheese mixture at one end, fold over, and twist to seal.
Arrange the twists on the lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and space them out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Let cool slightly before serving warm, optionally with marinara or garlic butter for dipping.
