Pepperoni Twists

My toddler son LOVED these!  He helped make them and watched them cook through the oven window and then he gobbled them up for lunch.  It was a wonderful (and quick) afternoon project with him!

Ingredients:

10 oz refrigerated bread stick dough

2 oz meatless pepperoni slices - I used the Yves brand

1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

non-stick cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  

Take breadstick dough and separate out (stretch each breadstick just a bit as well).  Place 3 pepperoni slices on half of each breadstick.  Fold other half of breadstick over the pepperoni slices.

twist breadstick dough ~3 times.  

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and place breadstick on it.  Replace until all breadsticks are assembled.

In a small bowl, mix together Italian seasoning, cheese, and garlic powder.  Sprinkle mixture over breadsticks. 

Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. 

Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.  Make a complete meal by serving with a salad or veggies and dip and a fruit.
