Notes

Make sure to roll out the puff pastry evenly for consistent twists. For extra flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika. To increase heat, add jalapeño seeds or choose a spicier jalapeño variety. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
