Weight Watchers-friendly Cheesy Twist
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese – 2 points
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese – 1 point
- 1 tube light crescent roll dough (like Pillsbury Reduced Fat) – 10 points for the whole roll, about 1 point per twist if you get 10
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning – 0 points
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder – 0 points
Directions
- Prepare Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll Out Dough: Open the crescent roll dough and carefully roll it out flat. Cut into strips for individual twists (10 strips yields 1 point per twist).
- Add Cheese and Seasoning: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the strips. Add Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
- Twist the Dough: Carefully twist each strip, gently pressing to keep the cheese on the inside of the twist.
- Bake: Place twists on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and crispy on the bottom.
- Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy as is or with a side of marinara sauce for dipping (optional, add points if using a sauce).
Nutritional Information and Points (Per Twist – Makes 10):
- Calories: ~45 per twist
- Weight Watchers Points: 1 point per twist, 3 twists = 3 points
Tips:

Benefits:
These cheesy twists are a great savory snack with satisfying flavors and texture. They’re perfect for parties or as an appetizer without packing in too many points.
