Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- Store-bought pizza or biscuit dough, enough for 8-10 knots
Garlic Butter Coating
- 3 cloves garlic, freshly minced
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc.)
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Parmesan cheese (optional), for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza or biscuit dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into strips about 1 inch wide and 5 to 6 inches long.
- Tie the Knots: Take each dough strip and tie it into a loose knot, pinching the ends to keep the shape secure for even cooking.
- Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, freshly minced garlic, Italian seasoning, a pinch of salt, and chopped parsley to make the flavorful coating.
- Air Fry the Knots: Place knots in a single layer inside the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve an even golden crust.
- Brush with Garlic Butter: Immediately after cooking, brush the hot knots generously with the garlic butter mixture. Optionally, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese while still warm so it melts beautifully.
Notes
- Use freshly minced garlic for the best flavor.
- Arrange knots in a single layer with space around each to ensure crispiness.
- Brush extra garlic butter after air frying to keep knots moist and flavorful.
- Line the air fryer basket with perforated parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- If using refrigerated dough, bring to room temperature before shaping for easier handling.
