Preheat oven to 375°, with racks in upper and lower thirs. Lightly flour a work surface and rolling pin; roll out 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed, to a10-by-18-inch rectangle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter, sprinkle with 3 tablespoons grated parmesan, and season with ground pepper. Gently roll over dough to adhere. Flip dough and repeat with more butter, cheese and pepper.

Cut dough in half lengthwise, then cut each piece into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Arrange in a single layer on two parchment-lined baking sheets and bake until pastry its golden and puffed, about 7 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool completely. (store sticks in an airtight container, up to 2 days.)
