Ingredients

pizza dough
butter
parmesan cheese
dried parsley
dried oregano
garlic powder
nonstick cooking spray
marinara, for serving, if desired

Step by step

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Unroll the pizza dough on a flat surface. Slice into 12 strips (I use a pizza cutter for this to make it easy.)
Ties each slice into a knot and tuck the ends underneath and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small bowl, then add parmesan cheese, parsley, oregano, and garlic powder. Stir to mix. Brush the dough knots with the butter mixture, reserving any leftover for later.
Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush with remaining butter mixture and serve hot with marinara if desired.

Serving suggestions

Now that you’ve got your garlic knots fresh out of the oven, you might be wondering what to serve alongside these delectable treats. The options are endless!

Pair them with your favorite pasta dish like Italian chicken sausage pasta or sheet pan lasagna for a classic Italian feast.

Serve them as a party appetizer with a variety of dipping sauces such as marinara sauce or garlic sauce and other classic apps like caprese skewers or sausage stuffed mushrooms, or simply enjoy them on their own as a satisfying snack.

Variations

sprinkle some shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the knots before baking for an extra cheesy kick.
experiment with different herbs and spices in the butter mixture, like rosemary, thyme, or red pepper flakes, to customize the flavor to your liking.
drizzle the knots with a touch of honey or maple syrup after brushing them with the butter mixture for a delightful sweet and savory twist.

How to store

Leftovers? No problem! Store any remaining knots in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. You can also freeze them for up to a month in a freezer bag.
