What Makes These Garlic Knots So Easy?

You’ll start with a large tube of refrigerated biscuit dough. I like to use Pillsbury Homestyle Biscuits. Refrigerated biscuits are a great shortcut in the kitchen.

How To Make

Each biscuit gets cut in half and then rolled into a rope that is long and skinny enough to tie into a knot. The knots get placed on a rimmed baking sheet and brushed with a mixture of melted butter, garlic salt, oregano, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Then they get sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. You can use either fresh grated Parmesan cheese or the kind in a green can.

They only need 10-12 minutes to bake. Once they come out of the oven, brush them with garlic butter. The more garlic butter, the better. They taste incredible on their own, but even better with pizza sauce.

Easy Garlic Knots Recipe Tips

I use garlic salt, but you could use 2 or 3 minced or crushed garlic cloves instead.

These knots taste best right out of the oven, but leftovers can be stored at room temperature in a zip-lock bag. You can rewarm them in a 300 degree oven or the microwave.
