Garlic knots are called garlic knots because it takes the traditional garlic bread flavors, and adds them to bread that’s been tied into a knot.
Quick Garlic Knots Ingredients
- Canned biscuits – we like to use Pillsbury Grands! Layered Layers biscuits because they give a nice, fluffy, layered result. You can use any of your favorite canned biscuits.
- Butter – you can use unsalted or salted butter for this. If you choose to use salted, be aware of the amount of salt you add to it.
- Garlic powder – dried garlic powder works best compared to fresh garlic for this recipe. Fresh garlic can burn quickly on the knots in the oven
- Dried parsley and oregano – be sure your spices are still fresh and aren’t expired for a house favorite flavor
- Parmesan cheese – you can use the pre-grated kind or grate it yourself. Both work well in this.
How to cook Garlic Knots

- Brush about ¾ of the butter and spice mixture on the knots.
- Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes until they are cooked and golden. Be careful not to burn them.
