Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots
Unbelievably easy, fool-proof, buttery garlic knots that come together in less than 20 min – it doesn’t get easier than that!
Easter is less than 1 week away and if you’re anything like me, easy appetizers are always a must. And they’re especially needed if you can make them ahead of time too! That’s why I just had to share these incredibly easy garlic knots to add to your Easter spread. It’s not only foolproof but this would also be so fun to make with your little ones because if they’re anything like my niece and nephews, playing with dough is the greatest “toy” of all!
So how does this come together? Simply halve each serving of biscuit dough, roll them out to about 5-6 inches, tie them into a knot, and slather on that buttery goodness. From there, you’ll just pop them right into the oven and brush on some more butter to taste. The more the better, right?
They’re unbelievably flaky, buttery, fluffy and they just melt in your mouth. They were so good that after devouring 4 of these in less than 5 minutes, I had to tell Jason to hide them somewhere in the house so I wouldn’t eat the entire batch!
Easy Garlic Parmesan Knots
Ingredients
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (16-ounce) tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together butter, Parmesan, garlic powder, oregano, parsley and salt; set aside.
- Halve each of the 8 biscuits, making 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a 5-inch rope, about 1/2-inch thick, and tie into a knot, tucking the ends.
- Place knots onto the prepared baking sheet and brush each knot with half of the butter mixture. Place into oven and bake until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, brushed with remaining butter mixture.

Wonderful recipe!!
These look sooo goood!!! I saw this last night and the second I woke up I thought about them. I’m making them tonight. My mouth is watering right now just thinking about them!
These we’re amazing!!!! The whole family loved them!!!
We love it!
These were fantastic! Easy to make and really easy to devour! Thanks for sharing the recipe!!
Thank you, Lisa!
Well, these are damn delicious! We made these with a steak dinner and they were so delicious and easy to make! They are great leftover too! A must try!
Can I make these a day ahead ?
Yes, you can certainly make/assemble these ahead of time. But after baking, these are really best when served immediately. Hope that helps!
These look really pretty and I am sure kids will love them. but as an adult who was really wanting to taste garlic knot dough, this didn’t cut it.
You can take the refrigerated look out of the can, but you can’t take the refrigerated taste out of the can!
If I plan to make this Times 4. Do I just literally Times all ingredients by 4?
Yes, that is correct.
These were a big hit! But they were very small (bite-sized) so I’m going to try using whole biscuits instead of cutting them in half before making the knots.
I made these with refrigerated pizza dough (the kind that comes in a tube like biscuits) and they were amazing!!
Did you use the flaky biscuit or regular. Thank you, they look great!
Regular.
Is it ok to use the flakey kind?
I made these with the Pillsbury buttermilk biscuit dough and absolutely hated them. It was almost no different than eating a biscuit with garlic spread on top. The garlic butter was delicious however! Perhaps I will try again using pizza dough.
Do you think these would be fine freezing before baking? I’m part of a freezer meal swap group… 🙂
Unfortunately, I cannot answer this with certainty as I have never tried freezing this myself. Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
You mentioned making them ahead of time? How did they keep? I was thinking of making this for my daughters open house.
Yes, you can make them ahead of time and either reheat in the oven or microwave.
Can I make it without the parsely?
Yes, of course.
How would I alter the recipe if i were to use fresh garlic? I’m a garlic fiend and like biting the chinks of garlic 🙂
The ratio for fresh to dry spices is typically 3:1.
Can you use the Pilsbury buttermilk biscuits the ones that come in the little tubes, or do you use the big ones?
Big ones! 🙂
These look delicious and so easy! I will be making these tonight!!
Made these using a convection oven. They were amazing! I made them in 2 batches of 6 and the last batch of 4. I kept the temperature the same but baked them for 12 min instead. I saw this recipe and wanted to try it out first since I needed something to take to a potluck. Thanks for the recipe!
I am always buying the pre-made savory garlic knots from Wal-Mart. Well.. I have seen them made on cooking shows, they look super simple to make! Tonight, I made these, and they were SUPER EASY to make!! They were pretty good, but the biscuits had an underlying biscuit taste.. not exactly what I was going for. The recipe is great and simple, but I’m going to try pizza crust dough the next time I make them!
These are heavenly! Made them twice just over this weekend and still want more. I was worried they would end up tasting like biscuits, but they definitely had that doughy garlic knot taste everyone loves. The seasoning in the butter is perfectly balanced, and the recipe really did take just 20 minutes, and half of that was baking time. Thanks for the recipe!
