Lemon Sugar Puff Pastry Sticks

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Unfold defrosted sheet of puff pastry onto a well-floured surface. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, roll the puff pastry until about 1 inch bigger lengthwise and crosswise. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the puff pastry crosswise into 12 even strips.

In a large, shallow dish, stir together lemon zest and turbinado sugar.

Brush both sides of each strip with melted butter. Lay strips, one a time, in the sugar mixture and coat both sides of the pastry. Lay strips on baking sheets, twisting each one.

Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden, rotating pans halfway through baking, about 12 minutes. Let cool and serve.

Makes 12 sticks.
