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.

You mentioned that one of the benefits of this recipe is that you can make these ahead of time, but the “serve immediately” instructions in the recipe puts me in a bit of a dilemma. I’d like to add these to my Thanksgiving day menu but I won’t have the oven space to bake & serve them immediately that afternoon (when the turkey comes out all the other hot dishes go in at a warm temperature until the dinner bell rings). I’d prefer making them the night before or earlier.

Judy, yes, you can certainly make/assemble these ahead of time. But after baking, these are really best when served immediately. Hope that helps!
OK, thanks for the swift reply. Happy Thanksgiving (I can imagine everyone in your world will be especially grateful for whatever comes out of your kitchen)!
I’ve been scouring the internet for an easy bread recipe as a Thanksgiving side, and I think I’ve found the one! This recipe looks SO easy. I can’t wait to whip these up during the craziness of preparing a Thanksgiving feast, and I’m sure they will turn out flawless 🙂
Yum, pinned… 🙂
These are delicious! I found that allowing the butter to drip on the pan caused the bottom of mine to get overly crispy. So I rolled and buttered on one pan and then transferred to another before baking. Because I love garlic, I put some powder on the roll of dough before fashioning it into a knot. These are going to be a hit!
I could only find country style biscuits in the tube but it should still work the same right? The tube makes 10 rolls so Ill just halve them?
Country-style biscuits should work just fine. As for halving the recipe – a 16-ounce tube is used in the recipe so please make the adjustments accordingly.
We loved this recipe. My daughter and I did it together. We made 20 knots and she ate most of them. Ha Yay. We have a new item to add to our cooking list.
These look incredibly delicious, can’t believe how easy they are to make!
These were delicious! I made them for a family gathering along with lasagna and they were eaten up! They look fancy, but super easy to make.
Would you be able to roll out and tie the knots, freeze on a baking tray, then put in a freezer bag so you can pull out and bake a couple at a time as you need them?
You can certainly make this ahead of time but I am not entirely sure about freezing as I have never tried it myself. I recommend using your best judgement for freezing and reheating.
I made these tonight for my family and we all LOVED them! Thank you so much for the recipe, I’ll definitely be making these again.
Made these with croissants,because that’s what I had on hand, and they were delicious!
Did you do the garlic & everything with the croissants? I was wondering if the croissants were too much on the “sweet” side & was thinking of just using butter since the croissants are all I have.
Has anyone made these the night before and baked them the next day. We are feeding a large crowd and we are looking for something we can make a head and bake fresh the day if the event. Thank you
Hi, these look great, if I would make my own biscuit dough , you mean like a kind of birtdaycake dough or is it more like a bread, as unfortunately we dont have this refridgerated in the Netherlands
It would be more like a bread dough.
Made this for dinner, and I’m not gonna lie-they were both my and my husband’s favorite part of the meal. We have a 10 month old at home, so I love how easy and delicious these were. Thanks for sharing!
My husband loves garlic knots! Definitely going to have to make these for the guy soon =)

Damn, I love you! Seriously, your blog and recipes are the best!
Once again, you’ve outdone yourself. Made these tonight for dinner and my husband LOVED them. He’s partial to garlic knots, so I know that these will now have to be in our normal rotation of side items. THANKS!!
These came out so delicious. My husband is already asking to make them again. Thank you
For those in other countries who don’t have refrigerated dough: biscuits are seriously the easiest “bread” to make. They use baking soda/baking powder as the leavener (no yeast needed). Betty Crocker has a bunch of recipes. Typically biscuits are just flour, salt, baking soda (or powder, depending on whether you use buttermilk or milk), milk or buttermilk and a fat (be it oil or butter or lard). So, you can still make them easily if you can’t find it pre-made :).
The recipe looks delicious! I think you solved my dilemma of what to bring for Easter!
Maybe Bisquick can be found. It is a ready-made dry biscuit mix. It can also be used to make pancakes, coffee cakes, and other yummies! Comes in a yellow box in the baking aisle.
