This is from a Weight Watchers cookbook called Simple Goodness. Use a pizza cutter to cut strips more easily. I freeze them in zip lock bags and heat in the microwave about 20 to 30 second.
Made these with dinner tonight. My sister and I loved them, but the kids didn’t try any (They don’t know what they’re missing!). They were kind of a pain to put together though as the dough kept sticking everywhere, but the end result was worth it.
I love that this recipe uses the refrigerated pizza dough and that they are only 1 point AND that they taste delicious. Definitely a wonderful flavor with the parmesan cheese and the slight kick from the red pepper. Thanks for a great recipe
I would have rated these 5 points, but i found them to be a little bland when I made them according to the directions. Next time I think I will add garlic salt and cajun seasoning. Despite my personal spice preferences, these are a good find. They are fairly simple to make and yield a good amount of twists. They would go well with soup in the winter and be a good sub for breadsticks with spaghetti. I will be making these again, thank you for sharing.
