Description

Soft, fluffy, and buttery, these Garlic Parmesan Knots are irresistible. Made with biscuit dough and brushed with garlic butter, Parmesan, and herbs, they bake up golden brown. Perfect with pasta, soups, or marinara dip!

Ingredients

Scale

1 (16-ounce) tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (makes this recipe super easy)
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted (for a rich, buttery coating)
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese (adds a savory, cheesy flavor)
¾ teaspoon garlic powder (for that classic garlic taste)
½ teaspoon dried oregano (adds an herby note)
½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes (for color and freshness)
¼ teaspoon salt (enhances the flavors)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare the Dough:

Open the tube of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the 8 biscuits.
Cut each biscuit in half to create 16 pieces.
Roll each piece into a rope about 5 inches long and ½ inch thick.
Tie each rope into a simple knot, tucking the ends under.
Place the knots on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Make the Garlic Butter Mixture:

In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried parsley flakes, and salt until well combined.

Brush the Knots:

Using a pastry brush, generously coat each knot with half of the garlic butter mixture.

Bake:

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.

Final Touch:

Remove the knots from the oven and immediately brush them with the remaining garlic butter mixture.

Serve:

Transfer the warm knots to a serving basket or plate. Enjoy fresh from the oven!

Notes

For a glossy finish, brush the knots with a bit more melted butter after baking.
If you don’t have a pastry brush, use a spoon to drizzle the butter mixture over the knots.
Always taste and adjust the seasoning of the garlic butter mixture before brushing.
