Make quick and crispy garlic knots in your air fryer. This recipe uses simple ingredients for a fast, flavorful side dish or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. If using refrigerated dough, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean surface.
  2. Cut the dough into 12 equal strips. Twist each strip several times to form a knot shape.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  4. Place the dough knots in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the knots are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the knots cook, prepare the garlic butter: combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning in a small bowl.
  7. Once the knots are done, transfer them to a large bowl.
  8. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the hot knots and toss gently to coat them evenly.
  9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the best crispiness.
  • For cheesy knots, add 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese during the last minute of cooking.
  • If you prefer a softer knot, reduce the air fryer temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
